Famed Japanese auteur Takashi Miike, best known for cult classics Audition, Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai and 13 Assassins, redefines the spaghetti Western with 2007’s Sukiyaki Western Django, an epic tale of blood, lust and greed starring Hideaki Ito, Yusuke Iseya, Kaori Momoi and Quentin Tarantino.

Two clans battle for a legendary treasure hidden in a desolate mountain town. One day, a lone gunman, burdened with deep emotional scars but blessed with incredible shooting skills, drifts into town.
