Description

In this definitive spaghetti western, Franco Nero (Keoma, The Fifth Cord) gives a career-defining performance as Django, a mysterious loner who arrives at a mud-drenched ghost town on the Mexico-US border, ominously dragging a coffin behind him. After saving imperilled prostitute Maria (Loredana Nusciak), Django becomes embroiled in a brutal feud between a racist gang and a band of Mexican revolutionaries With Django, director Sergio Corbucci (The Great Silence) upped the ante for sadism and sensationalism in westerns, depicting machine-gun massacres, mud-fighting prostitutes and savage mutilations. A huge hit with international audiences, Django s brand of bleak nihilism would be repeatedly emulated in a raft of unofficial sequels. The film is presented here in its 4K UHD Blu-ray debut, with a wealth of extras. Also included is the bonus feature Texas, Adios on Blu-ray, which also stars Franco Nero, and was released as a sequel to Django in some countries. 2-DISC 4K UHD BLU-RAY LIMITED EDITION CONTENTS 4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray presentation of Django, in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation of Texas, Adios Uncompressed Mono 1.0 PCM audio Original English and Italians soundtracks English subtitles for the Italian soundtracks Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing for the English soundtracks Six double-sided collector s postcards Double-sided fold-out poster 60-page perfect-bound book featuring writing by Howard Hughes and Roberto Curti, and original reviews Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Sean Phillips DISC 1 DJANGO [4K UHD BLU-RAY] Audio commentary by film critic, historian and theorist Stephen Prince Django Never Dies, an interview with star Franco Nero Cannibal of the Wild West, an interview with assistant director Ruggero Deodato Sergio, My Husband, an interview with Sergio Corbucci s wife Nori Corbucci That s My Life: Part 1, an archival interview with co-writer Franco Rossetti A Rock n Roll Scriptwriter, an archival interview with co-writer Piero Vivarelli A Punch in the Face, an archival interview with stuntman and actor Gilberto Galimberti Discovering Django, an appreciation by spaghetti westerns scholar Austin Fisher An Introduction to Django by Alex Cox, an archival featurette with the acclaimed director Gallery of original promotional images from the Mike Siegel archive Original trailers DISC 2 TEXAS ADIOS [BLU-RAY] Audio commentary by spaghetti western experts C.
