Django, with that coffin always trailing behind, coffin behind, coffin behind. Sergio Corbucci directed Django, and Franco Nero, José Bódalo, Loredana Nusciak, Ángel Álvarez, and Eduardo Fajardo are in the cast. Django (Nero), dragging a coffin, rescues a woman from some robbers and quickly gets caught up in a conflict between two groups – something he might be able to exploit. 1966 was an excellent year for Spaghetti Westerns; Leone finished his "Dollars" series, Damiani created a politically charged film, and Sollima made one of the best “manhunt” Westerns within that category. Then there’s this, Django, a Pasta Western practically synonymous with the genre itself. I fought for the North! Django is enjoyable; it's violent and harsh, funny and playful, and visually and aurally appealing – so pretty much it has all the best elements that made the first wave of Spaghetti Westerns so agreeable. It certainly owes a “lot” to A Fistful of Dollars and Yojimbo, but it’s still unique, a baroque Gothic work that really seems to enjoy nihilism. The graphic violence is wonderfully cartoonish, the imagery unrestrained, and with Nero – eyes like chips of ice – the film features one of the coolest and toughest men around. Nusciak provides the sex appeal, reminiscent of a Spaghetti Raquel Welch, while the villains are delightfully awful and repulsive. The setting is fantastic, a muddy, cold, miserable town where a brothel serves as the central point. Naturally, there's a cemetery, which will feature some of that imagery mentioned earlier. Religion isn’t treated with much respect, racial prejudice gets a sharp critique, and it’s worth noting there's also a subtle undercurrent of social realism while Corbucci delivers the action and bloodshed. Okay! The plot is thin, and it’s not even Corbucci’s finest work, but the stylized violence, the visuals, and a great soundtrack easily distract you from the story’s shortcomings. It inspired countless copies, references, and influenced many filmmakers, but this is the original. A Spag Western worth watching to see when this sub-genre was still high quality, before numerous inferior imitators started damaging the Spaghetti Western reputation. 8.5/10
