Our review of Django finds it essential for fans of brutal, stylized westerns and collectors of classic restoration releases. This edition highlights Franco Nero's career-defining turn as a laconic antihero and showcases Sergio Corbucci's escalation of sadism and spectacle; the single biggest reason to buy is the film's restored presentation that makes the film's mud-drenched visuals and large-scale action feel more immediate than many worn prints. Readers should expect uncompromising violence and a raw, nihilistic tone rather than a family-friendly western.
