Clint Eastwood's infamously spooky Western film High Plains Drifter features several iconic locations, but here's where the movie was actually filmed.
The locations in Clint Eastwood's classic revisionist Western drama High Plains Drifter are pivotal to the story, but where exactly was the movie actually filmed? Met with high critical praise upon its initial release in 1973, High Plains Drifter involves a perplexing blend of genres that see the Western auteur step out of his comfort zone.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Eastwood not only directed but also stars in High Plains Drifter, and the filmmaker's bleak vision of revenge and anti-heroism was in stark contrast to the classical icons of older Westerns. Stylized and allegorical, the choice to set the film in the High Plains was not by accident, and the almost alien landscape was the perfect backdrop for the story being told on screen.
High Plains Drifter Was Filmed In Mono County, California Despite its title, which makes reference to a real region of the United States, High Plains Drifter was not actually filmed on the High Plains. Instead, the movie was shot entirely on location in the sparsely populated California county of Mono.
The real High Plains are mostly flat, with rolling hills and a trademark grassland that was historically dotted by buffalo in years past. The locations of High Plains Drifter are much rockier and barren, which gives the viewer a sense of alienation as the landscape seems less hospitable. Other than the ease of filming a movie closer to Los Angeles, Mono County gave Clint Eastwood a more interesting canvas to paint on, and it ultimately played into the film's eerie ghostlike tone.
A set allows filmmakers to have greater control over the environment of the production, and the fake nature of the buildings allows for things to be moved or rearranged for ease of use. Besides that, the faux nature of Lago helped add to the film's surreal and dreamlike tone. Erected on the edge of a massive lake, High Plains Drifter's primary filming location was realistic, but it was also specifically tailored to look as compelling as possible.
