From this thread, I was inspired to start Once Upon A Time last night. I have seen parts of it over the years I guess flipping thru the box, but never the whole thing. I am halfway thru it and will watch rest tonight. Sergio was brilliant in many ways. I've seen his Clint ones, but this must have been his masterpiece. The fly scene alone is genius cinematography and directing. Who would even think to try a scene like that today. It would have computer magic added for sure to even achieve that, and you would know it. I will say the music is wild operatic almost, but pretty cool. The sound effects throughout are clever. The ying and yang, slow to fast, calm to chaos, normal to insane, the shifts are never ending. Great effin movie, even just halfway. Edit to add that any aspiring actor should watch this movie. Some of the best non verbal stuff ever.
