Famed Japanese auteur Takashi Miike, best known for cult classics Audition, Ichi the Killer, and The City of Lost Souls, redefines the spaghetti Western with SUKIYAKI WESTERN DJANGO. This stunning cinematic combination of far east techniques meets wild west clichés charmed audiences at film festivals around the world including the Venice International Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival, Seattle International Film Festival, San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival and New York Asian Film Festival. The film, which is co-written by Masa Nakamura and Takashi Miike, carries Miike’s infamous auteur stylistics of violence, melodrama and the breathtaking visuals that the cinematography evokes.
Two clans, the white and the red, 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. Two clans try to woo the lone gunman to their side, but he has ulterior motives.
Dirty tricks, betrayal, desire and love collide as the situation erupts into a final, explosive showdown. Quentin Tarantino also stars.
