Description: Cult Spaghetti Westerns - Django & Keoma & A Bullet for the General Blu-Ray DISC 1: ‘DJANGO’ 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 legendary Franco Nero plays 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. + EXTRA 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. DISC 2 ‘KEOMA, THE VIOLENT BREED’ Acknowledged as the genre swansong, this late Western masterpiece is directed by Enzo G. Castellari whom Tarantino calls ‘his maestro’ (having remade Castellarri’s ‘Inglorious Bastards’) and regards as a ‘cinematic icon’. Screen-legend Franco Nero reprises his relentless deadly gunslinger persona, now as the eponymous Keoma who, returning to his hometown, finds that it is now ruled by a gang of sadistic killers. Aided by his friend (a superb Woody Strode), Keoma fights the ruthless bunch to the bitter, last-man-standing, end. This gritty no-holds-barred western is presented from 2K-restored materials, showcasing its iconic set-piece striking action-cinematography as never before. DISC 3 ‘A BULLET FOR THE GENERAL aka QUIEN SABE?’ A covert US assassin is sent to kill a General who is one of the leaders of the Mexican Revolution. He infiltrates a gang of guerrillas led by the charismatic El Chuncho (Gian Maria Volonté of the ‘Dollars films’) with his lieutenants, the crazed priest (Klaus Kinski), and the beautiful Adelita (007’s Martine Beswick). As the rebels go on a rampage stealing weapons, they unwittingly lead the assassin to the General. And the US agent has a bullet for him! Directed by Damiano Damiani (Amityville II) and written by Franco Solinas (Oscar nominated for writing ‘The Battle for Algiers’) ‘A BULLET FOR THE GENERAL‘ established the politically-imbued 'Zapata-Western’ genre; it is fpresented in superb high definition finally doing justice to its lavish widescreen cinematography and it is elevated by the exuberant music from Oscar Winner Ennio Morricone. -Quoting Tarantino, whose encyclopaedic admiration and devotion to spaghetti westerns provides the curating thread of this box-set: “A Bullet For The General is one of the greatest Spaghetti Westerns ever made.
