A Mexican village is periodically raided for food and supplies by Calvera (Eli Wallach) and his bandits. As he and his men ride away from their latest visit, Calvera promises to return to loot the village again. Taking what meager goods they have, the village leaders ride to a town just inside the American border hoping to barter for weapons to defend themselves. While there, they encounter Chris Adams (Yul Brynner), a veteran Cajun gunslinger. After listening to their tale, Chris suggests that the village hire gunfighters, which would be cheaper than guns and ammunition. The village men relentlessly try to convince him to be their gunman. At first he agrees only to help them find men, but later he decides to recruit six other men to help him defend the village, despite the poor pay offered.

Il s’agit d’une série de vidéos entrelacées inspirées de l’album de Gainsbourg. En 1971, c’est un concept inédit pour donner vie à un LP, mais ce qui est encore plus surprenant, ce sont les visuels étonnants du court-métrage qu’Averty a réalisés à l’aide d’une multitude de filtres vidéo, de superpositions, de mouvements de caméra et d’effets chroma. Averty les applique en tandem avec le ton croissant des chansons de Gainsbourg, qui plus ou moins chroniquent la liaison d’un homme plus âgé avec une jeune fille. Chaque chanson est composée d’une prestation poétique constante, parfois inquiétante, avec des refrains chronométrés aux répétitions de phrase de chaque chanson, tandis que la guitare bourdonnant d’Alan Parker accompagne et se tortille autour de la voix résonante de Gainsbourg. La basse est grasse et groovy, la batterie facile mais stable, et l’utilisation périodique de cordes ou de vibrato riche rend ce court métrage comme un petit bijou sensuel.

The film opens in the 16th century, when Russia and Eastern Europe were divided into small sections and principalities that fought each other or against one enemy: in this case, Turkey. It starts with a battle raging between the Turks and the Poles. The Poles are losing until the Cossacks arrive to save the day. However, it turns out that the Poles were merely holding back so that they could treacherously attack the Cossacks after they won the battle for them. As a result, the Poles become masters of Ukraine and the Cossacks are subjugated. Taras Bulba, one of the Cossack officers, returns home to raise his family but now it is under Polish dominion.
