Dragging a coffin, Django enters a deserted town after saving a woman’s life. He finds himself in the middle of a battle between Mexican revolutionaries and a racist gang. His presence is no accident.
A visual splendor bordering on abstraction, Django relies on its script’s sobriety and the constant inventiveness of its baroque directing. The avenging angel, come to restore order to a corrupt world, drags his nonchalant silhouette in a muddy no-man’s-land. Sergio Corbucci breaks the codes of traditional Westerns and offers a dark haunting vision, drawing on his Latin roots through its excesses, macabre poetry, cathartic violence, and crude humor. Fascinating and monolithic, young Franco Nero forges an icon.
