Sukiyaki Western Django (2007)



WIKIPEDIA: "Sukiyaki Western: Django (スキヤキ・ウエスタン ジャンゴ Sukiyaki Uesutan Jango?) is a 2007 Japanese film by Takashi Miike. The title of this English language western refers to the Japanese dish, sukiyaki, which rhymes with the word spaghetti, as well as Sergio Corbucci's spaghetti western film, Django. It also takes inspiration from"Man with No Name" stock character, variously used in Western genre but most notably in Akira Kurosawa's Yojinbo."


Unlike some haters, I enjoyed this film. You have to love Asian cinema and have an appreciation for the old westerns to really get into it.
