Django Unchained (2012)

Directed by: Quentin Tarantino
Country: USA

Review: “Django Unchained” is the most entertaining and provoking western of the last couple of years. The story itself doesn’t require much thought, but a delicate subject such as slavery was never handled with so indiscretion before. Tarantino’s mind has created another of his typical electrifying action movies, where bloodbaths and sharp humor join together to generate an explosive combination. Some scenes were deliberately exaggerated, being a mark of the director's style. I would have recognized his hand here, even if I didn’t know who the director was – I think that’s positive. The soundtrack was of bigger importance for “Django” to be classified as an unparalleled western; we can listen to a huge variation of styles such as: hip-hop, classical, romantic Italian or spaghetti western music. This is not the best work by Tarantino, but definitely one not to miss.
