Defined in the glossary: Spaghetti western
Nothing to do with Django, and one of the strangest and cruelest westerns Italy ever shot.
The title is a lie sold to cash in on Corbucci: Giulio Questi's film has no Django in it, just a half-breed drifter, played by Tomas Milian, who claws out of a mass grave and walks into the worst town in the West after the men who left him there. What he finds is a hallucinatory parable of greed where the loot is gold, the townsfolk are hypocrites and sadists to a person, and one of the most notorious images in the genre involves a mob cutting golden bullets out of a corpse with knives. Questi came up under the neorealists and shoots the violence as though it disgusts him, and that is why it sticks. It was censored across the map for scalpings, a molten-gold killing and worse, and it plays less like a western than a fever. Milian is extraordinary, and so is the film's total lack of interest in comforting anyone.

Filed alongside
Four of the Apocalypse
Fulci does a bleak, hallucinatory western. Four outcasts cross a hostile frontier. Most do not make it.
The Big Gundown
Sollima's best. A manhunt that keeps turning into a political argument.
The Grand Duel
Lee Van Cleef, one three-way showdown, and the Bacalov theme you know from Kill Bill.
The Mercenary
Corbucci's Zapata western. A Polish gun-for-hire, a peasant revolutionary, and Jack Palance in a frock.
Companeros
Zapata western with Franco Nero and a very good Morricone theme.
Day of Anger
A gunfighter mentors a despised young man, then has to face what he created. Van Cleef at his best.
Cemetery Without Crosses
The French corner of the spaghetti cycle: gaunt, ritualistic, and dedicated to Leone.
Face to Face
Sollima's smartest western: watch a decent man discover he likes it.
Keoma
Late, strange, half-sung by a folk narrator. Castellari's best film.
If You Meet Sartana Pray for Your Death
The gadget-gunslinger spaghetti west arrives fully dressed in black.
The Great Silence
Corbucci in the snow. The ending would never have cleared an American studio.
A Bullet for the General
The most openly political of the Zapata cycle, and the sharpest.
