the tin star

an exciting opening sequence found in anthony mann's the tin star, 1957.
masterfully photographed by loyal griggs.
the sequence is 10 shots over 2 minutes and thirty seconds. henry fonda as a bounty hunter rides into town with a dead man.
reminiscent of tarkovsky, or the ending of the passenger, but with less attention to its form.
