The Peckinpah Technique

7 February 2012 No Comment

By Joshua Cornelius

Today we’d like to share not one, but two videos.  The first is a deconstruction of the action as shot and directed by Sam Peckinpah in Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia.  The second is a music video of sorts, featuring the final shootout of The Wild Bunch set to a song by Beck.  The second video really serves no function other than to highlight the rhythmic, musical quality to Peckinpah’s shooting and editing.

Enjoy!
