Event Description

🎥 Johnny Guitar | Dir. Nicholas Ray
📌In English | 110 min

The film centers on Vienna, a saloon owner whose independence and authority provoke hostility within a community consumed by suspicion and resentment.

When Johnny Guitar, a former lover turned wandering musician, arrives in town, old tensions resurface amid accusations, vendettas, and escalating violence.

At the center of the conflict is Vienna’s rivalry with Emma Small, whose obsessive hatred transforms the narrative into a battle charged with emotional and political intensity.

Ray overturns traditional Western conventions by placing women at the center of power and conflict.
