Hello, this is Dom…

From CultFilms, the Spaghetti Western – Django – will be have a 4K UHD release next week on 11th December. Here’s what they had to say:

Sergio Corbucci’s ground-breaking Django is one of the greatest and most influential Westerns ever. Seminal, yet banned for decades, its aesthetics of visual cruelty transcended the genre and shaped today’s film-making language. Its major influence is declared by Quentin Tarantino – among many Hollywood directors – and seen in all his films.

Django, played by the legendary Franco Nero, is the mysterious lone gunslinger who, dragging a coffin behind him, arrives in a bleak, mud-drenched town where he’ll face two ruthless gangs of sadistic killers.

Presented uncut, from new 4K-restored elements, this definitive version is pristinely faithful to the original filmmakers’ vision; as attested by Ruggero Deodato (of Cannibal Holocaust fame) who shot several scenes of Django as the then-Assistant to Corbucci.
