1st ever Limited Numbered Edition Set + Bonus contribution from Quentin Tarantino [Region-Free].
Sergio Corbucci’s ground-breaking Django is one of the greatest and most influential Westerns ever. Seminal, yet banned for decades, its aesthetics of visual cruelty transcended the genre and shaped today’s film-making language. Its major influence is declared by Quentin Tarantino - among many Hollywood directors - and seen in all his films.
The modern action hero also began here, with the legendary Franco Nero playing the eponymous Django, the mysterious gunslinger who arrives in a bleak, mud-drenched town - dragging a coffin behind him - to face a group of sadistic marauding bandits and an army of hooded Ku Klux Klan-like psychopaths.
Presented uncut, from new 4K-restored elements, this definitive version is pristinely faithful to the original filmmakers’ vision; as attested by Ruggero Deodato (of ‘Cannibal Holocaust’ fame) who shot several scenes of ‘DJANGO’ early in his career, as the then-Assistant to Sergio Corbucci.
+ BONUS FEATURE: 80 min with QUENTIN TARANTINO in DJANGO & DJANGO
A riveting feature-length testimonial by Quentin Tarantino complements this edition: showing many clips, he explains how Sergio Corbucci’s ‘Django’ permeates his own films from ‘Reservoir Dogs’ to his resounding tribute ‘Django Unchained’.
And whimsically Tarantino tells how, in his ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’, his fictional actor, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, ends up working for the real Sergio Corbucci.
