 Sergio Corbucci has directed more than sixty films and written numerous subjects and screenplays. From the melodrama of the Fifties (where he rivaled Raffaello Matarazzo) to the peplum (often collaborating with Sergio Leone and Duccio Tessari), from the debut in the Italian western (of which he is probably the true precursor), passing through the relaunch of Totò, up to the confused Eighties, where he was almost always a blockbuster. Protagonist of four decades of Italian cinema, he has tackled almost all genres, including thriller and gothic (albeit fleetingly), but he is remembered almost exclusively for Django, a violent and baroque western that also made the fortune of its interpreter Franco Nero. In recent times Quentin Tarantino has enthusiastically worked on the (re)discovery of the director, to the point of saying that he was precisely "the other Sergio", in eternal contrast with the more celebrated Sergio Leone.
