Matalo! (also spelled as Mátalo) is a 1970 Italian Spaghetti Western film directed by Cesare Canevari.

The film is considered among the most original western ever produced in Italy. It is characterized from a greater weight given to psychology over action, an almost total lack of dialogues, an innovative soundtrack and the use by the lead character of a boomerang as his only weapon.

It was shown as part of a retrospective on Spaghetti Western at the 64th Venice International Film Festival.

Synopsis

Dans une petite ville perdue dans le désert américain, un bandit, Burt, est sur le point d'être pendu. Mais il est sauvé à temps de la potence par ses complices mexicains qui sèment le chaos en tuant la plupart des villageois. Seul le pasteur est épargné. Avant de s'enfuir, Burt séduit la veuve de l'homme qu'il a tué avant d'être condamné à mort. Armée d'un fusil, elle le menace mais il l'embrasse puis l'abandonne sans rien dire. Aussitôt parti, elle se suicide.
