Sukiyaki Western Django

Director: Takashi Miike

2007 / 121min / DCP

Having already tried his hand at just about every other genre known to man, often cramming more than one into a single picture, Miike earned his horse opera spurs with the outrageous, gore-spackled Sukiyaki Western Django, performed in English, or a phonetic approximation thereof, by a who’s who ensemble cast, entirely Japanese save a scenery-gnashing Quentin Tarantino. Hideaki Ito, playing a Man with No Name shootist with a checkered past, rides into a new town and smack into the middle of a war between heavily armed rival factions, and from then until the Gatling gun finally sings, it’ll be a nonstop cavalcade of double-dealings, unearthed hidden motives, and squib-popping gunplay—that is to say, the good things in life.
