This was a restoration by from the original negative: “The restoration of Django was made by the Fondazione Cineteca di Bologna and by Surf Film, from a 4K scan of the original camera negative and from the Italian sound negative. The restoration was carried out in 2018 at L’Immagine Ritrovata”.

Great review of Django John. I'm a massive Spaghetti Western fan (plan on a book about them at some point). The dubbing is fun. Italians at the time post dubbed everything. No sound on set (apart from perhaps Leone who often had Morricone's score (already written) playing as he shot). It used to faze a few of the Hollywood actors as they would be filming their scenes and the crew would be playing football off screen. Given that they tended to be multinational productions, each actor would speak their native tongue and be dubbed later. It is one reason why these films often had hyper exaggerated sound effects. Which add to the atmosphere. Django spawned a load of other films with Django in the title - often having nothing to do with this original film. There is a genuine sequel to the original Django, again staring Nero, called 'Django Strikes Again' 1987 and Nero played a priest in the recent TV series 'Django'. That was not brilliant and had nothing really to do with the film apart from taking the name and a few image references. By the way. One of the so called sequels to Django is rather good - also got banned due to violence - 'Django Kill... If You Live, Shoot!' - didn't spaghetti westerns have brilliant titles. Now that is a cynical, dark, surreal film. It stars the wonderful Tomas Milian and I love it. If you like Nero is spaghetti westerns you could try 'Keoma' 1976 I love that as well but some may be put off by the Leonard Cohen rip off sound track but I like it. Aren't we lucky to be able to access these films in such quality these days rather than the awful, many generation away, pan and scanned, VHS copies, if we were lucky.
@moviecollector59208 ай бұрын
I agree with you about being able to see these films in such wonderful quality at home Chris. Neither of us would ever have thought it possible. Thank you for confirming so many other details too. If you do a book on spaghetti westerns I'll have the first one off the press! While I can't see myself suddenly watching a whole load of them if others come out as 4K discs with similar quality to this one then I'll get some or all of those. The complete package for this release of 'Django' helped to make it extra special. I wasn't expecting to enjoy it so much as I did but Susie really enjoyed it too. John.
@DomH758 ай бұрын
Hey John! Thanks for the review! Unless I hear differently, I think I'm going to go for importing the US Arrow 4K edition of Django, which is definitely scanned from the original negative, rather than the CultFilms release which doesn't sound like it's from the same source, judging by the word salad they've used to describe it! There was a similar issue with CultFilms and Dario Argento's Suspiria where they released a strangely green-hued 4K 'restoration', while Synapse, in the USA, did a 4K restoration from the negative with oversight from the cinematographer. It looks incredible. The Synapse restoration of Suspiria is actually available on Blu-ray in Italy, so I imported that one until I can get my hands on the US Synapse 4K. I didn't mind the dubbing in Django. I usually accept the 'rubber lips' on Italian films, given they're almost always post-synced anyway. That said, I watched an excellent Arrow release of a 1970s Italian police thriller (poliziottesco) the other day called The Big Racket. I unintentionally put on the Italian track and since it's an Italian film set in Italy with a mostly Italian cast, speaking Italian, I stuck with it. When it's one of those Italian co-productions with an international cast, where actors from all over the world are clearly speaking their lines in whatever their own language is, I usually go for the English. The Big Racket is directed by Enzo G Castellari (who made the original Inglorious Bastards and appeared in Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds). It's a terrific action thriller staring Fabio Testi, a former stuntman, who bears a striking resemblance to a young Sean Connery. Lots of great action scenes, a good, if slightly silly plot, marred by a couple of instances of excessive sexual violence. In many ways, it reminded me of The Sweeney from the same era, funnily enough. I'm planning on getting the Creepshow discs with some Christmas money! I hadn't heard about the series, although I love the original two movies, so I can't wait to see these. Anyway, Merry Christmas and thanks for all your videos this year. I've learnt a lot from your channel! Dominic Husband 🙂

Morning Dom. It's been confirmed on here that the Cult Films 'Django' is from the camera negative. Arrow Films did apply HDR though so it would be an interesting comparison. Looking at this Cult Films disc I'd have assumed it did have HDR but I always press the HDR button first to check which setting looks best and that told me it wasn't present. Does it need it, possibly not judging by the evidence of my eyes. But if I ever see the Arrow Films variation of the same cine to video transfer I'll happily be proved wrong. I forgot to say that I think the four series of Creepshow are even better than the two films so you should enjoy them. Some stories are a little below par but on the whole they're great fun with some being stone cold classics. John.

What a strange way for them to describe the elements though!! Looking even more forward to Creepshow now then! I love that style of horror as much as I love the really dark type of supernatural horror in the likes of the (very uneven) Conjuring series. It's slashers that I've never been all that big on outside of the Elm Streets, which are offset by the supernatural fantasy dream landscapes and Friday the 13ths, because they so frequently veer into self parody!

Great review as usual John. I'm hoping to get a 4k projector and a screen next year. I was thinking about sound. I live in a block of flats and letting sub woofers etc rip would be an issue. Can you do sound through headphones with a cinema setup? What are the options? Maybe a video possibility?
@moviecollector59208 ай бұрын
Headphones can be very good for getting good volume in a flat without upsetting the neighbours but perhaps a reasonable quality pair of stereo speakers and position them just to the left and right of where you sit would be a preferable option most of the time. Wearing headphones can be a little frustrating if used all the time. Close speakers don't have to be anywhere near as loud. And paint a wall rather than buy a screen cos' it's much cheaper and just as good if not better. John.

It would be interesting to directly compare the two. I expect blacks will be better with the HDR copy but this one might actually be more accurate to how the 35mm prints originally looked. John.

Would you consider reviewing the Cannibal Holocaust 4K ? One of my favourites.

Nope! Saw that in the south of France back when it was on general release Finlay and I don't ever want to see it again. A memorable, historic film but bloody hell... how did anyone ever dream that up? John.

@@spaceodds1985 Fortunately I can't remember that particular scene but I do remember the shocking nature of it overall. The idea of finding the 8mm or 16mm films the expedition had shot seemed inspired to me at the time but it was only the very final shot that confirmed it had been faked and wasn't a snuff movie. I don't think we had english subtitles to tell us what was going on given we watched in France. We didn't know anything about the film going into it so didn't know that it had been banned from the UK at the time. We could see why once we got through it. I think I was 14 then. John.

Maybe I came to the Django party a bit late, sure, it's a good film, however I defy anyone to watch the Sartana box set from Arrow and not find each of those films getting more absurd and OTT as you watch each film in order. Nothing wrong with Django, but for me the Sartana films are where its at!

I think the only other spaghetti westerns I can remember seeing besides a few of the Sergio Leone films is the Trinity series. Never seen any of the Sartana titles. John.

@moviecollector5920 oh my! I strongly recommend the Arrow Sartana box set. It's about £25 for The Complete Sartana box set. Watch them in order, each gets more audacious and OTT until the last film which has a GLORIOUS end setpiece that's just ludicrous! My favourite is the third film, Sartana's Here...Trade Your Pistol For A Coffin. See? Even the titles are OTT!

@moviecollector5920 I should add too John, if you go ahead and give the box set a try, go in totally blind. Don't risk spoiling any of the action and surprises. Buy the box set, read nothing, look at nothing, insert the first disc, hit play and off you go for maximum effect! Original audio tracks and subtitles by the way, please! 😊

@@bonnetdedouche437 I shall take a look for it when I'm in HMV in future. I'm not sure wifey will like them though so I'll have to see. Thank you for the recommendation. It's only because of the recommendations for Django over the past year or so that I took a look at this 4K. John.

@moviecollector5920 good stuff! I hope you enjoy them if you buy it. I'd also recommend the Arrow Vengeance Trails set. My Name Is Pecos is fantastic. Also, if you like Stagecoach, try Seijun Suzuki's 8 Hours Of Terror, and, Take Aim At The Police Van. Wonderful classic cinema. 👌
