The Gunfighter
- Comedy
- Western
In the tradition of classic westerns, a narrator sets up the story of a lone gunslinger who walks into a saloon. However, the people in this saloon can hear the narrator and the narrator may just be a little bit bloodthirsty.
The Gunfighter is a 2014 comedy western that deconstructs the classic saloon shootout by making the narrator audible to the characters—and increasingly unhinged. This clever short film plays with genre expectations, turning the traditional gunslinger tale into something unexpectedly meta and darkly funny.
