Django (1966)

Directed by Sergio Corbucci
My rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Blu-ray, Blue Underground)

Franco Nero is the blue-eyed Italian in the old west of the USA. He drags a coffin into a sleepy, muddy town near the Mexican border after rescuing a local whorehouse girl from being raped. The mystery of the coffin is revealed when he has a shootout with the surviving members of the gang on the main street. Fiercely independent, Django appears to side with the Mexican revolutionaries only to later steal their stash of gold which he helped take from the Army. However, his real motivations lie in his past, in the cemetery in tombstone and a personal vendetta. Extremely influential spaghetti western that opened the door to countless imitators.
