Double Feature: DJANGO, 1966, 87 min. Dir. Sergio Corbucci. Horseless, dark-clad, blazingly blue-eyed Franco Nero enters dragging a coffin through the inches-thick mud of a crummy town fought over by red-hooded clansmen and a flock of banditos. Original of at least 30 official and unofficial sequels. Quentin Tarantino lists this film as No. 3 in his 20 favorite spaghetti Westerns; RESERVOIR DOGS’ infamous ear-cutting scene was a direct reference. In Italian with English subtitles. [Blu-ray]
