Gone are the days of a six-year wait between Tarantino films, as hot on the heels of 2009’s Inglourious Basterds comes his latest epic. Taking subtle cues from Sergio Corbucci’s 1966 spaghetti western Django, the film is set in the deep south just prior to the American civil war. Jamie Foxx stars as the titular hero – a slave living a life at the mercy of Dr. King Schultz, played by the ever brilliant Christoph Waltz. Django sets out on the hunt for a ruthless gang of killers in order to eventually rescue his wife Broomhilda Von Shaft from vicious plantation owner Calvin Candie. With standout performances across the board and character names like that, who could resist?
