Sukiyaki Western Django ( Japanese ス キ ヤ キ ・ ウ エ ス タ ン ジ ャ ン ゴ , Sukiyaki Uesutan Jango ) is a 2007 film by Takashi Miike , who is known for the horror film Audition , among other things .

The name derives from the Japanese stew sukiyaki from an allusion to spaghetti westerns that were also called Spaghetti Western and the Western film Django by Sergio Corbucci with Franco Nero in the title role. In addition to well-known Japanese actors, one role was cast with Quentin Tarantino , who would later shoot his own spaghetti western , inspired by Django.

action

A few centuries after the Gempei War , two rival clans, the white-clad Genji and the red-clad Heike, fight each other to the point of blood. Meanwhile, a nameless stranger travels through the city of Yuta. After the requests from both clans have been rejected, he finds refuge with a woman named Ruriko. Then the nameless learns that gold mining was carried out in the city several years ago and that the rival clans are fighting for the remaining gold.

background

• The protagonist is portrayed as a nameless gunslinger, alluding to the " Dollar Trilogy " by Sergio Leone , which in turn was derived from the Japanese film Yojimbo - The Bodyguard . The film is often cited as an inspiration and reason for creating spaghetti westerns.
• Some scenes from the aforementioned film are also reflected in the plot of this film.
• The film turned out to be a flop as it only grossed around 3 million on a budget of roughly $ 4 million.

criticism

The film got 56 percent on Rotten Tomatoes , an online database of collections of various reviews. The lexicon of international film writes about the "tough, rather unusual" film: "The re-import of the Kurosawa classic Yojimbo , which is set in a slightly surreal environment , which is supposed to liven up Japanese cinema with laborious English-speaking actors."

Awards

At the Venice International Film Festival, the film was in the running for the Golden Lion.
