Originally banned in several countries, Sergio Corbucci's groundbreaking bloodfest, DJANGO, is one of the greatest Spaghetti Westerns ever made, and without a doubt the most influential - spawning not only dozens of imitations but a new cinema genre: its everlasting effect seen today as the avowed inspiration behind Tarantino's own DJANGO UNCHAINED tribute.
The modern action hero began here, with the legendary Franco Nero (honoured with a cameo accolade in Tarantino's variation) starring as Django: the mysterious lone drifter who, dragging a coffin behind him, arrives in a bleak, mud-drenched town where he ignites a violent feud between a group of Mexican bandidos and an army of hooded Ku Klux Klan-like racist murderers.
Presented here, complete and uncut, remastered in HD from the fully restored negative, pristinely faithful to the original look of Corbucci's film, this is the most definitive version of DJANGO. Unequalled.
