Django

Django (1966) is a violent spaghetti western directed by Sergio Corbucci. The film is set after the American Civil War and follows a Union soldier who becomes entangled with a white supremacist militia and Mexican revolutionaries.1

The spaghetti western is a subgenre of movies set in the 19th-century American West, made by Italian filmmakers and filmed in Europe during the 1960s and early 1970s. These films are known for their low-budget sets, dramatic close-ups, and the distinctive music of Ennio Morricone. Unlike traditional American westerns that often idealized the West, spaghetti westerns presented a more morally ambiguous and violent portrayal of the era, featuring antiheroic characters.21

Django is considered one of Corbucci's most violent contributions to the genre.1
