Django (Special Edition) [Blu-ray]

Product Information

Product 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 an exclusive restoration with a wealth of extras.SPECIAL EDITION BLU-RAY CONTENTSRestoration of Django from a 4K scan of the original camera negative by Arrow FilmsHigh Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentationUncompressed Mono 1.0 PCM audioOriginal English and Italian soundtracksEnglish subtitles for the Italian soundtrackOptional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing for the English soundtrackAudio commentary by film critic, historian and theorist Stephen PrinceDjango Never Dies, an interview with star Franco NeroCannibal of the Wild West, an interview with assistant director Ruggero DeodatoSergio, My Husband, an interview with Sergio Corbucci’s wife Nori CorbucciThat’s My Life: Part 1, an archival interview with co-writer Franco RossettiA Rock ‘n’ Roll Scriptwriter, an archival interview with co-writer Piero VivarelliA Punch in the Face, an archival interview with stuntman and actor Gilberto GalimbertiDiscovering Django, an appreciation by spaghetti westerns scholar Austin FisherAn Introduction to Django by Alex Cox, an archival featurette with the acclaimed directorGallery of original promotional images from the Mike Siegel archiveOriginal trailersReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Sean Phillips
