Curator's Take
“Corbucci's masterpiece of mud and blood. Franco Nero dragging a coffin through a wasteland is one of the most iconic images in cinema history. It’s a brutal, cynical, and muddy rebuke to the clean-cut American western.”
Why This Movie Is Important
The film that dragged the western through the mud. Sergio Corbucci introduced a gothic, horror-tinged atmosphere and extreme violence (ear-slicing) that shocked the world. With his coffin and machine gun, Django became a symbol of anti-establishment rebellion. It spawned over 30 unofficial sequels and remains the defining cult movie of the genre.
