“Django Unchained,” September 15 2013, home DVD. There are three movies in this Quentin Tarantino written/directed film about a freed slave (Jamie Foxx) who becomes a bounty-hunter along with his German liberator, Christoph Waltz in a brilliant turn. They work together killing white folk for the money and then go off to ‘rescue’ Django’s wife, now owned by the deranged, brutal Candie, Leo DiCaprio also in a wonderful role, whose real advisor is the slave Stephen, excellent work by Samuel L Jackson, seems to be having fun in this role. This is, by turns, a comic shoot-‘em-up, a nightmarish vision of personal/social cruelty and violence, and an American spaghetti western (with genre music joined to wildly eccentric stuff like Richie Haven’s “Freedom” and Johnny Cash). The film’s middle section has scenes of profound brutality and such cruelty that I stopped the film or turned away and almost shut it off entirely. The massive gun violence is comical. The racial violence is horrific. Waltz and DiCaprio are quite special in their bookend roles of German liberator and American Nazi. The N-words fly with appalling regularity. It’s not an easy film, but it is a good one.
