DJANGO, the 1966 film included in Quentin Tarantino’s top

groups, the KKK and a gang of Mexican Bandits.
The influential film, directed by Sergio Corbucci, is a masterpiece in
the genre as it introduced unprecedented action inspiring numerous films
including Tarantino’s own modern rendition, DJANGO UNCHAINED. “His West was the most violent, surreal and
pitiless landscape of any director in the history of the genre” – Tarantino
referring to Corbucci’s landscape.
