![Django Unchained [Blu-ray] [Region B] [2013]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91kgCFn77aL.jpg)

Product Description Written and directed by Quentin Tarantino and featuring an award-winning cast, Jamie Foxx stars as Django a slave who teams up with bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) to seek out the South's most wanted criminals with the promise of Django's freedom. Honing vital hunting skills, his one goal is to find and rescue the wife (Kerry Washington) he lost to the slave trade long ago. When their search ultimately leads to Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio), the infamous and brutal proprietor of "Candyland", they arouse the suspicion of Stephen (Samuel L. Jackson), Candie's trusted house slave. Now their moves are marked and Candie's treacherous organization closes in on them. desertcart.co.uk Review From the moment Jamie Foxx throws off a filthy, tattered blanket to reveal a richly muscled back crisscrossed with long scars, it's obvious that Django Unchained will be both true to its exploitation roots but also clear-eyed about the misery that's being exploited. Django (Foxx), a slave set free in the years before the Civil War, joins with a German dentist-turned-bounty hunter (the marvelous Christoph Waltz, Inglourious Basterds), who has promised to help Django rescue his wife (Kerry Washington), who's still enslaved to a gleeful and grandiose plantation owner (Leonardo DiCaprio, plainly relishing the opportunity to play an out-and-out villain). What follows is a wild and woolly ride, crammed with all the pleasures one expects from a revenge fantasy written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. Plot-wise, some things happen a little too easily (for example, Django instantly becomes a master gunslinger), but the moral perspective is not glib. For all its lurid violence and jazzy dialogue, this is a still-rare movie that paints slavery for what it was: a brutal, dehumanizing practice that allowed a privileged few to profit from the suffering of many, a practice guaranteed by the gun and the whip. Think of it as the antidote to Gone with the Wind. Tarantino is more heartfelt in Django Unchained than in any of his previous movies--without sacrificing any of the pell-mell action, tension, and delicious language that made Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill, and Pulp Fiction so very enjoyable. --Bret Fetzer Review: A Quentin masterpiece of film. - Another Quentin masterpiece. Never in all my life have I heard the N word in a movie so many times. The dentist is just brilliant, funny and skilled. Jamie Foxx is also on another level and Decaprio plays a blinder as well. A movie I watch many times over, just love the retribution side of things. It's graphic but leaves a lot to the imagination. A must buy. Review: Fantastic Western - Quentin Tarantino is firing on all cylinders with this blistering western. Snappy dialogue, great characters and a cool soundtrack all help to make this one of Tarantino's best genre bending films. Django is a slave who is desperate to rescue his wife. A chance meeting with Dr King Shultz sets him on his path of retribution. As bounty Hunters they travel around following wanted posters and collecting their rewards whilst edging closer to Django's ultimate target. Christoph Waltz is simply stunning in the film and is fully deserving of his second Oscar. King Shultz surpasses his Lang in Inglorious Basterds. He is funny, scary, soulful and witty all at once. The only disservice is that he is classed as a supporting role when he practically carries the film. Waltz is backed up by some other superb turns. Leonardo Di Caprio is, as always, a joy to watch. He has real presence and imbues his character with a simmering hatred that is felt in every scene. It is also refreshing to see Samuel L Jackson get a role that requires some actual heart felt acting. In a character that requires him to be conniving, untrustworthy and slippery, he succeeds on every level and deserves just as much credit in a supporting roil as Waltz. It also makes a change to see him without and eye patch! But all this is moot without mentioning Django himself. Jamie Foxx gives it his all and creates a hero really worth rooting for. He has the right level of emotion and action prowess to balance the story in a very understated and un-showy role. And the Oscar for best screenplay goes too..... none other than Tarantino for his trademark zippy, snappy dialogue. He is on superb form and even the slightly saggier moments of the film crackle with whip smart conversations. As a result the film is often quite funny and the characters all feel three dimensional. Bemoaning the violence is a pointless exercise. This is Tarantino, if you are watching then surely you know what to expect. Overblown, gratuitous and bloody, the violence is just a small part of this exceptional film. A pounding, modern soundtrack and a great story also help to make this one of Tarantino's best. Well worth watching.

A Quentin masterpiece of film.
Another Quentin masterpiece. Never in all my life have I heard the N word in a movie so many times. The dentist is just brilliant, funny and skilled. Jamie Foxx is also on another level and Decaprio plays a blinder as well. A movie I watch many times over, just love the retribution side of things. It's graphic but leaves a lot to the imagination. A must buy.

Surprisingly good!
I'm not a great fan of Tarantino's work, and I was reluctant to engage with the subject material (slavery), but found myself watching it the other night on TV. I was deeply impressed. It's not like any of the previous movies I've seen on the subject and was entirely engaging. I may have to revisit some of his earlier work. I believe a single film combining both parts of the Kill Bill franchise is due out shortly. I'll have to keep my eye out for that.

Tarantino's attempt at 'Westerns' and 'slavery' is successful - on the whole
A lot has been said about this film. First - the deal - this is a good value package, blu ray and DVD copy plus some nice production extras as bonus material. Now - the film. Let's leave aside the debate about the use of the 'F-Word' and the 'N-Word'. Tarantino - through sheer brute force and controversy but being very sure of his own abilities too - has carved a niche as one of the most important contemporary film makers. I have followed his work since Reservoir Dogs in 1992. I would probably accept now that he is one of the greatest living directors. It is impossible to ignore his work. The production, direction, cinematography, acting and screenplay in this film are superb. It is his first foray into Westerns but also deals with slavery - something that even now, Hollywood is reluctant to engage with. There are the usual Tarantino trademarks - irreverent and sometimes seemingly irrelevant dialogue, visual shock, theatrical violence, meticulous character development and a extracting commending performances from his actors. But there are differences is this later Tarantino style. This is a serious film, on the whole (it may be brilliant but it is difficult to call Pulp Fiction a serious film). There is a strong narrative that is broadly linear (just the occasional flashback). The 'F' and 'N' words are there but seem less intrusive. The theme could be thought of as 'vengeance and retribution' (a black slave gets his own back and rides off into the sunset with his sweetheart at the end) but this is probably the least important theme. This film needs to be re-watched to appreciate its nuances - always the sign of a good film. Highly recommended.

C'è ben poco da fare, Tarantino gira come pochi al mondo. Gustare una delle sue opere e come salire su un ottovolante che poi impazzisce, tra omaggi e citazioni, improvvise esplosioni di violenza grafica e dialoghi fiume che rasentano il genio assoluto (e ti chiedi "Ma come diavolo fara?") Più che il western all'italiana (si, c'è, per carità, e non solo per gli straordinari omaggi musicali micalizzibacaloviani), sembra che Quentin abbia voluto rifare una specie di Radici in salsa pulp e gonfiandolo con prelibatezze ultrasplatter (le sparatorie sono veri e propri geyser di sangue, straordinarie , fulminanti, qualcosa che azzera tutto quello fatto fin'ora-e meno grottesco del massacro alla katana di Kill Bill-. Altro che mexican-stand-off, da mandare in pensione John Woo e company), momenti pulp-comedy (il discorso degli incappucciati, capitanati da un Don Johnson con voce da idiota, non ha rivali. Quintessenza del genio tarantiniano, dove schernisce un gruppo di razzisti-e il razzismo in generale- imbecilli col cervello di un poppante. Forse la migliore sequenza antirazzista mai girata, dove Quentin la riassume in poche battute, ma assolutamente geniali. Le taglie che risolvono a Weltz e Foxx situazioni a dir poco precarie), momenti assoluti di gran cinema (l'arrivo a Candyland, poi, e un pezzo di cinema inarrivabile), dimore vittoriane che diventano veri e propri mattatoi, flahback girati come se fosse un horror grindhouse (la marchiatura e la fustigazione di Brumhilda), lampi feroci che omaggiano I Guerrieri della palude silenziosa (per me già di culto un Tom Savini in versione zozzo redneck-quasi irriconoscibile-che tiene al guinzaglio due cagnacci lerci-e non può venire in mente il John Steiner di Mannaja-che sbraneranno lo schiavo Dartagnan, finito su un albero stile Ciccio Igrassia in Amarcord, e nella fetida combriccola pure Zoe Bell con look stile ninja che rimanda a Kill Bill), un incipt che meriterebbe di saperlo a memoria (l'arrivo di Waltz su un carro da dentista con il molare che dondola, la fulminante sparatoria che prende in pieno il cavallo di James Russo facendolo a pezzi, la vendetta degli schiavi neri, in mezzo a un bosco da horror-gotico), la tortura inflitta a Django/Foxx a testa in giù, con coltello arroventato sugli zebedei mi ha messo addosso più di un brivido A volte mi pareva che Quentin, furbescamente e come solo lui sa fare, avesse preso come pretesto l'western italiano, per fare una specie di remake di Mandingo (i due mandingo che lottano fino alla morte nel salone di Di Caprio ne sono un fenomenale omaggio), ma Quentin e un diavolo, inventa, omaggia, mischia, ti spiazza, ti destabilizza, come il gioco delle matrioske Tutti i dialoghi sono di una forza dirompente (straordinari quelli di Di Caprio a tavola col teschio, delirante teoria sul servilismo dei negri, e assolutamente geniale la battuta sul nomignolo di uno degli schiavi "Eschimo Joe"), che sembra di vivere in prima persona , lì, su quella tavolata da profondo sud Tarantino che rifà se stesso? Ma non scherziamo, Tarantino e Tarantino, più unico che raro. Sembra un film di Robert Rodriguez? Ma non diciamo fesserie, pur amando "mucho gusto", non si avvicina manco al genio esposivio di Quentin (e la splatter/sparatoria e qualcosa di immaginifico mai visto prima, altrochè) Quentin, poi, tocca le corde della spietatezza (per il sottoscritto, una delle scene più dure e insostenibili, e l'umiliazione che Di Caprio, sempre a tavola, fa subire a Brumhilda facendole scoprire la schiena con i segni delle frustate davanti agli ospiti-e mi veniva in mente Salò-o la sequenza del pozzo, pugno allo stomaco che sì, pure a me a ricordato la straziante e poetica sequenza fulciana/bolkiana di Non si sevizia un paperino) Il sangue sgorga, impazza, imbratta, liquami che sprizzano a mo di fontana che manco Street Trash, corpi che volano (letteralmente) da una stanza all'altra (gran lavoro dell'immenso Greg Nicotero), sangue di schiavista che sporca fiori immacolati, Tarantino (ingrassato parecchio) che esplode su dinamite leoniana come fosse un cartoon di Tex Avery. La tortura delle Iene, momenti che toccano il cuore come in Jackie Brown e Kill Bill vol 2, omaggi infino a Ingmar Bergman e la sua "lanterna magica" (tra i tanti), hi-pop (e ci stà), la bellissima canzone morriconiana cantata da Elisa, Waltz che parla di Dumas con Di Caprio, insomma, ogni momento rasenta il cult assoluto Attorialmente, una spanna sopra tutti, c'è Di Caprio, quintessenza del personaggio tarantiniano tout-court. Gustoso il cameo di Bruce Dern nel flashback, mentre non ho riconosciuto-ahimè- James Remar e Don Stroud. Se proprio devo muovere delle critiche a Quentin sono: L'inutile cameo di Franco Nero (che mi pareva anche un pò spaesato), in una citazione un pò forzata La chiusa finale un pò troppo pagliaccesca, con Django/Foxx che fa danzare il suo cavallo davanti ad una divertita Brumhilda sotto un cielo spielberghianamente stellato Il resto e puro, assoluto cinema Grazie Quentin.. Inutile soffermarsi sulla qualità del dvd Sony, semplicemente eccezzionale!
