Django (

Yojimbo.[2][7][8]

The film earned a reputation as one of the most violent films ever made at the time, and was subsequently refused a certificate in the

15 certificate in 2004). A commercial success upon release, Django has garnered a large cult following outside of Italy and is widely regarded as one of the best films of the Spaghetti Western genre, with the direction, Nero's performance, and Luis Bacalov
's soundtrack most frequently being praised.

Although the name is referenced in over 30 "sequels" from the time of the film's release until the early 1970s in an effort to capitalize on the success of the original, most of these films were unofficial, featuring neither Corbucci nor Nero. Nero reprised his role as Django in 1987's

The Specialists.[9]

Plot

On the

revolutionaries
.

Django confronts Major Jackson in the saloon.

Jackson and his henchmen arrive at the saloon to extort Nathaniel. Django confronts two henchmen when they harass a prostitute, and ridicules Jackson and his beliefs. Django shoots the men, and challenges Jackson to return with his accomplices. Afterwards, he seduces María.

Jackson returns with his gang. Using the

Fort
Charriba.

Nathaniel, under the guise of bringing prostitutes for the soldiers, drives a

Mexican Government
, promises to pay Django once he is in power.

When Ricardo tries to rape María during the post-heist party, Django kills him. Hugo allows Django to spend the night with María, but he chooses another prostitute. The prostitute distracts the men guarding the gold, and Django enters the house via the chimney. Stealing the gold in his coffin and activating his machine gun as a diversion, Django loads the coffin onto a wagon. María implores Django to take her with him.

Arriving at the bridge where they first met, Django tells María that they should part ways, but María begs him to abandon the gold so they can start a new life together. When María's rifle misfires, the coffin falls into the quicksand below. Django nearly drowns when he tries to recover the gold, and María is wounded by Hugo's men while trying to save him. Miguel crushes Django's hands as punishment for being a thief, and Hugo's gang leave for Mexico. Upon arrival, the revolutionaries are massacred by Jackson and the army. Django and María return to the saloon, finding only Nathaniel there, and Django tells them he must kill Jackson to prevent further bloodshed.

Jackson learns that Django is waiting for him at Tombstone Cemetery and kills Nathaniel. Django, resting himself on the back of Zaro's cross, pulls the trigger guard off his revolver with his teeth and rests it against the cross, just as Jackson's gang arrive. Believing Django is praying, but cannot make the sign of the cross with his mutilated hands, Jackson mockingly shoots the corners of Zaro's cross. Django then kills Jackson and his men by pushing the trigger against the cross. Leaving his pistol on Zaro's cross, Django staggers out of the cemetery.

Production

Development and writing

During the production of

Yojimbo, which he had seen two years prior on recommendation from his regular cinematographer, Enzo Barboni. Corbucci also wanted to make a film that would rival the success of A Fistful of Dollars, a Yojimbo adaptation directed by his friend Sergio Leone.[2] According to Ruggero Deodato, Corbucci's assistant director, the director borrowed the idea of a protagonist who dragged a coffin behind him from a comic magazine he found on a news-stand in Via Veneto, Rome.[7]

Bolognini gave Corbucci a very short schedule in which to write the film's screenplay. The first outlines of the story were written by Corbucci with his friend

peons as target practice also has historical precedence – Indigenous Brazilians had been used as target practice by white slavers as late as the 1950s.[8] Corbucci is also alleged to have studied newsreel footage of the Ku Klux Klan while writing scenes featuring Major Jackson and his men, who wear red hoods and scarves in the film.[2]

Corbucci and Vivarelli's outline was then revised by Franco Rossetti.[2] By the time filming began, Corbucci was directing from a "scaletta [...] like a synopsis, but more detailed, [yet] still not a full screenplay".[12] Further screenplay contributions and revisions were made throughout production, namely by José Gutiérrez Maesso and Fernando Di Leo (who was not credited for his work on the script) and especially by Bruno Corbucci.[2] Actor Mark Damon has also claimed to have collaborated with Corbucci on the story prior to the film's production.[8] Italian prints credit the Corbucci brothers with "story, screenplay & dialogue", while Rossetti, Maesso and Vivarelli are credited as "screenplay collaborators". English prints do not list Maesso, and credit Geoffrey Copleston for the English-language script.[13]

Casting

Corbucci originally wanted to cast Mark Damon (who had played the title character of Ringo and his Golden Pistol) as Django, but Damon experienced a conflict in his scheduling and had to withdraw. Bolognini considered either

dubbed in post-production by actor Nando Gazzolo.[15] He also asked Corbucci to have his character dressed in a black Union Army uniform as a reference to his family name (Nero means "black").[14] During filming, Corbucci invited Sergio Leone to meet Nero, who felt that the young actor would become successful.[7]

Filming

Filming began in December 1965[12] at the Tor Caldara nature reserve, near Lavinio in Italy. Most interior and exterior shots were filmed on the Elios Film set outside of Rome, which included a dilapidated Western town renovated by Carlo Simi, a veteran of both Corbucci and Leone's films.[2] Corbucci was at first dissatisfied with the muddy street of the Elios set (he initially wanted the film to be set in snowy locations, foreshadowing his work on The Great Silence), but was eventually persuaded by Bolognini and his wife, Nori Corbucci, to use the muddy locations.[2] Production halted several days after filming began to allow the Corbucci brothers to polish the script, while Bolognini secured extra financial backing from the Spanish production company Tescia.[14] Filming restarted in January, with several exteriors being filmed in Colmenar Viejo and La Pedriza of Manzanares el Real, near Madrid.[14] The final gunfight between Django and Jackson's men was filmed in Canalone di Tolfa, near the Roman Lazio area.[2] Filming concluded by late February 1966.[12] Unlike most Spaghetti Westerns, which were filmed in 2.39:1 Techniscope and printed in Technicolor, Django was filmed in the standard European widescreen (1.66:1) format and printed in Eastmancolor.[8]

In an interview for Segno Cinema magazine, Barboni explained that during the two weeks of shooting at the Elios Film set, filming was made problematic by the low amount of available sunlight. Grey and heavy clouds covered the sky nearly permanently, making it extremely difficult for the crew to choose the right light. Many scenes turned out to be

black humour throughout production, which once resulted in the director and his crew abandoning Nero during the shooting of the film's opening titles as a joke.[12]

The soundtrack for Django was composed and conducted by

orchestral styles of instrumentation, although several tracks use distinctive elements of Latin and rock music.[1][8] The main titles theme, which was conducted by Bruno Nicolai and features lyrics by Franco Migliacci and Robert Mellin,[16] was sung in English for the film by Rocky Roberts. An Italian version of the song, released only on the soundtrack album and as a single, was performed by Roberto Fia.[17]
The soundtrack album, originally released in 1985, was re-released in 2013 with a new song listing and additional tracks.

Release

In the United States, Django was shown for a brief period in Los Angeles during the making of

Yojimbo (用心棒, Yōjinbō), but as a sequel to A Fistful of Dollars (荒野の用心棒, Kōya no yōjinbō), which had been distributed in Japan by Toho-Towa on behalf of Akira Kurosawa.[23]

Home media

Django was first released on DVD in the US as a

interactive game and an illustrated booklet with essays on the films. This release, which is currently out of print, was criticized for its hazy, washed-out transfer.[24] Prior to the original DVD release, Anchor Bay had released both films on VHS in 1999.[25][26]

On January 7, 2003, Blue Underground, having acquired the distribution rights to Django from Anchor Bay, released a second DVD of the film as part of The Spaghetti Western Collection boxset, which also included the films Django Kill... If You Live, Shoot!, Run, Man, Run and Mannaja: A Man Called Blade.[24] A standalone two-disc limited edition version was released on April 27, 2004, with the first disc containing the film and the second containing Alessandro Dominici's The Last Pistolero, a short film starring Nero in a tribute to his Western film roles. A third DVD release, made available on July 24, 2007, omitted The Last Pistolero.[27]

Blue Underground's DVD releases utilize a high quality (albeit mildly damaged) transfer based on the film's original camera negative, which was subject to a complex two-year digital restoration process that resulted in many instances of dirt, scratches, warps and deteriorations being removed and corrected.[28] The DVD, which presents Django completely uncut with Dolby Digital mono mixes of both the English and Italian dubs (as well as English subtitles translating the Italian dialogue), includes the film's English trailer, Django: The One and Only (an interview piece with Nero and Ruggero Deodato), a gallery of poster and production art compiled by Ally Lamaj, and talent biographies for Nero and Corbucci.[28] A Blu-ray release, featuring a revised high definition transfer of the negative and DTS-HD Master Audio Mono mixes of the English and Italian dubs, was released by Blue Underground on May 25, 2010. Unlike most of Blue Underground's releases, which are Region 0 or Region Free-encoded, the Django Blu-ray is Region A-locked.[24] The original DVD was included, along with Django Kill... If You Live, Shoot!, Keoma and Texas, Adios, as part of a four-disc set titled Spaghetti Westerns Unchained on May 21, 2013.[27]

In the UK, Argent Films released Django on DVD in 2004.[29] This release, which features exclusive interviews with Nero and Alex Cox, was re-released on September 1, 2008, and was later included in Argent's Cult Spaghetti Westerns boxset alongside Keoma and A Bullet for the General, released on June 21, 2010.[30] Argent later released its own Blu-ray, also taken from the original negative, on January 21, 2013, alongside a remastered DVD based on the same transfer.[30]

On September 1, 2018,

steelbook edition that would not include the poster.[31][32] Prior to their intended release, Arrow withdrew both editions from their catalogue pending the outcome of a rights dispute between Blue Underground (who claimed to still have sole ownership of the film's US distribution rights, and had sent cease and desist letters to consumers who had pre-ordered the titles) and the film's Italian rights holder Surf Film (from whom Arrow obtained permission to release both films in February that year).[33] Arrow released the DVD in 2020.[34]

Reception

Django received an 18 certificate in Italy due to its then-extreme violence. Bolognini has stated that Corbucci "forgot" to cut the ear-severing scene when the Italian censors requested he remove it.[2][8] The film was commercially successful, earning 1,026,084,000 lire in Italy alone during its theatrical run.[35]

Critical response

posttraumatic stress disorder due to a constant exposure to violence, and are therefore "perfect for each other".[8]

Although initial critical reactions were negative due to the high level of violence,[7] reception of Django in the years following its original release has been far more positive, with the film gaining a 92% "fresh" score on Rotten Tomatoes based on twelve reviews, and an average rating of 8.1/10.[36] The film is generally ranked highly on lists of Spaghetti Western films considered to be the best, and along with Corbucci's own The Great Silence, it is often viewed as one of the best films of the genre to have not been directed by Sergio Leone.[37][38][39][40][41][42] Corbucci's direction, Bacalov's score and Nero's role are among the most-praised elements of the film. However, the English-dubbed version has frequently been criticized for being inferior, voice acting and script-wise, to the Italian version.[1][8]

In a contemporary review for Italian newspaper Unita, Django's depiction of violence was described as "the heart of the story", "truly bloodcurdling", and "dismayingly justified in the emotions of the audience". The reviewer also noted that, "this repetition of excessive cruelty, in its sheer extent and verisimilitude, transfers the film from a realistic plane to the grotesque, with the result that here and there it is possible to find, among the emotions, a certain healthy amount of humour".[43]

When reviewing for

Sir Christopher Frayling identified Django's attire, including "his Sunday-best soldier's trousers, worn-out boots and working man's vest", as a major aspect of the film's success on the home market. According to Frayling, Django's appearance makes him appear "less like an archetypal Western hero than one of the contadini (farmers) on his way back from the fields, with working tools on his back, dragging his belongings behind him, [making a] direct [point] of contact with the Southern Italian audiences".[8] Reactions to Nero's limited screenings of Django in Los Angeles, compared to the responses of Italian critics, were highly enthusiastic. Audience members, which included actors and filmmakers such as Paul Newman, Steve McQueen and Terence Young, were appreciative of the film's sense of humour and originality.[7][19]

Budd Wilkins, reviewing Django for

Zapata Westerns like Damiano Damiani's A Bullet for the General". Describing the film as an "unrepentantly ugly movie, despite the striking visual flair Corbucci brings to his blocking and camera movement", Wilkins compared the film's "appalling" depictions of violence and sadomasochism to Marlon Brando's One-Eyed Jacks, "except Corbucci carries things far beyond the bloody horsewhipping Brando's Rio receives in that film". He concluded his review by stating that, "in a genre known for endless knock-offs, a trend that includes Django's 30-plus sequels, Corbucci's film is notable not only for the artistry of its construction, but also for the underlying anger that fuels its political agenda".[44]

In his analysis of the Spaghetti Western genre,

posttraumatic stress disorder due to their constant exposure to violence, and thus make a "perfect" romantic couple. Cox also found that the film's upbeat ending, a rarity in Spaghetti Western films, "tells us something of Corbucci's fondness for women, and for personal bonds".[8]

UK BBFC ban

When

British Board of Film Censors in 1967, examiners recommended that the film be denied classification and banned outright. The company appealed to the Board's Secretary, John Trevelyan, who concurred with the assessment of examiners that the film's "excessive and nauseating violence" was justification for its denial of a certificate. More importantly, he explained that it would not be possible to cut the film for an X rating.[29][45]

In 1972, Django was offered to another distributor, who asked the new BBFC Secretary, Stephen Murphy, whether the film could be passed. Murphy suggested that it would still be unlikely for the film to receive a certificate, largely because of both the Board's scathing 1967 assessment of the film and the "sensitivity of critics" to depictions of

video nasties panic.[47][48]

Django did not receive a classification in the UK until it was submitted for an official video release by Arthouse Productions in 1993, when the BBFC concluded it could be passed, without cuts, with an

BBC2's Moviedrome block, where the film was introduced by Alex Cox.[11]

Five specific scenes were called into question in both the 1974 and 1993 examiner reports of the film:[45][46]

  • María's whipping by Mexican bandits, which was the primary reason for the 18 rating in 1993. The scene was passed without cuts because the action was found to be neither sexualized nor titillating.
  • The severing of Brother Jonathan's ear was eventually accepted because the wound itself is never shown.
  • Miguel's crushing of Django's hands was passed in 1993 due to few shots of the sequence actually featuring Django's hands.
  • Two separate horsefalls were deemed to not be in breach of the Board's policy on animal cruelty, due to one of the falls taking place on soft mud, and the other being on the horse's side.

Django was examined by the BBFC for a fourth time in 2004, when Argent Films submitted the film prior to its British DVD release. The film was downgraded to a

15 certificate for "moderate bloody violence". The BBFC have acknowledged that the original 18 certificate was partially reactionary to the film's censorship history.[45]

Legacy and influence

Django has continued to inspire and receive homage from various forms of media made in the US, Japan, and elsewhere.

Sequels

More than thirty unofficial "sequels" to Django have been produced since 1966. Most of these films have nothing to do with Corbucci's original film, but the unofficial sequels copy the look and attitude of the central character.[2] Among the most well-received of the unofficial sequels are Django Kill... If You Live, Shoot! (starring Tomas Milian), Ten Thousand Dollars for a Massacre (starring Gianni Garko and Loredana Nusciak), Django, Prepare a Coffin (produced by Manolo Bolognini and starring Terence Hill in a role originally intended for Franco Nero) and Django the Bastard (starring Anthony Steffen).[1] An official sequel, Django Strikes Again, was released in 1987 with Nero reprising his role as the title character.[1]

In December 2012, a second official sequel, Django Lives!, was announced, with Nero reprising his role as the title character. The film would follow Django in his twilight years participating as a consultant on silent westerns in 1915 Hollywood. Nero signed on to reprise his role after reading the script, penned by Eric Zaldivar and Mike Malloy. Robert Yeoman, a long-time cinematographer for Wes Anderson, was attached as director of photography.[50][51] In May 2016, it was reported that the film's script had been purchased and rewritten by director John Sayles, and will be directed by Christian Alvart.[52] In a November 2020 interview with Variety, Nero revealed that principal photography on the film was set to begin in May or June of that year in New Orleans before being postponed indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but that one of the film's producers, Carolyn Pfeiffer, hoped to begin shooting in January 2021; Nero also revealed that he intends to ask Tarantino to make a cameo appearance in the film when its schedule is confirmed.[53]

In April 2015, an English-language television series based on the film, titled Django was announced as being developed as an Italian-French co-production by Cattleya and Atlantique Productions. The series was slated to consist of 12 fifty-minute-long episodes, with the possibility of multiple seasons.[54][55] In February 2021, it was announced that Cattleya and Atlantique had partnered with Sky Group and Canal+ to produce the 10-episode series, which began filming in Romania in May,[56] and actor Matthias Schoenaerts had been cast in the title role. The series was created by Leonardo Fasoli and Maddalena Ravagli and developed by Fasoli, Ravagli, Francesco Cenni and Michele Pellegrini, while Francesca Comencini will direct the first episodes and serve as the series' artistic director. The series will follow Sarah and John, the founders of the town of New Babylon, "a city of outcasts, full of men and women of all backgrounds, races and creeds, that welcomes everyone with open arms", and the arrival of Sarah's father Django, who believed that she had been killed years earlier.[57]

Other films

According to Nero, former

Yojimbo fame), Ursula Andress and Alain Delon.[7] In a 2012 interview Nero stated that Young saw the film at Warner Brothers, where it was screened a number of times while Nero was making Camelot there: "You know, Terence Young saw it three times. And then he did The Red Sun!"[58]

The fantasy movie Death Trance features a protagonist dragging a sealed coffin around for much of the film.[59] In the Brazilian pornochanchada film Um Pistoleiro Chamado Papaco (A Gunman Called Papaco), the title character spends the whole film carrying a coffin and the opening scene is inspired by Corbucci's film.[60]

The 1972 Jamaican film, The Harder They Come, contains a sequence where the hero, Ivan, watches Django in a cinema, which has echoes with his character and story.[11]

Takashi Miike's 2007 film, Sukiyaki Western Django, is a highly stylized Western film inspired by Django, Yojimbo and A Fistful of Dollars.[61]

Anti Hero in Dennou Keisatsu Cybercop, Lucifer was based on Django portrayal, gunslinger, wandering around in cowboy hat, all black clothes, also good at quick draw, most notably when he were introduced in Django styled carrying a coffin with him and keep his weapon in it.

In 2010, the Western Jonah Hex featured a surprise reveal of a pair of crank operated Gatling guns mounted on the sides of a horse.

Django Unchained

Quentin Tarantino's 2012 film Django Unchained pays several tributes to Corbucci's film. In Unchained, Nero plays a small role as Amerigo Vessepi, the owner of a slave engaged in Mandingo fighting with a slave owned by Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio). Upon the loss of that fight, Vessepi goes to the bar for a drink and encounters Django, played by Jamie Foxx. Vessepi asks Django what his name is and how it is spelt, and upon Django's informing him that the "D" is silent, says "I know."[62] Django Unchained also uses the Rocky Roberts-Luis Bacalov title song (along with several score pieces) from the original film;[63] the film's end credits theme, "Ode to Django (The D Is Silent)", performed by RZA, uses several dialogue samples from Django's English dub, most prominently María's line "I love you, Django".[64]

Tarantino had previously referenced Corbucci's film in Reservoir Dogs; the scene in which Brother Jonathan's ear is severed by Hugo was the inspiration for the scene in which Vic Vega does the same to Nash.[44]

Television

Main article: Django (TV series)

The lead character's iconic coffin arsenal has been paid homage in several movies and TV series, including several Japanese anime series.

Beyond the Grave (formerly Brandon Heat), of Gungrave
, carries a metal coffin-shaped device which houses a variety of weapons.

A TV series of the same name is set to be released in 2023.[65]

Video games

The main character of the Boktai series of video games is a vampire hunter named Django, who drags a coffin around for sealing and purifying immortals. In Red Dead Revolver the boss, Mr. Black, carries around a coffin that houses a Gatling gun.

Music

Django is the inspiration for the 1969 song and album Return of Django by the Jamaican reggae group the Upsetters. Additionally, Django is the subject of the song "Django" on the 2003 Rancid album Indestructible. The music video for the Danzig song "Crawl Across Your Killing Floor" is inspired by the film and shows Glenn Danzig dragging a coffin.[66]

The music for video for the Editors song, 'Formaldehyde', directed by Ben Wheatley, is heavily influenced by Django.[67]
