Sukiyaki Western Django

 

Japan 2007, 121 minutes
Dir. Takashi Miike
Genres: Action/Adventure / Western

 

Aroview: Mashing spaghetti western and samurai farce, Takashi Miike spins an east-meets-west tale of two rival clans attempting to bolster their shot at victory by enticing a gifted gunman to their side.

Challenging his all-Japanese cast to pronounce their dialogue in thickly-accented American English, Miike establishes a nonsensical tone, with his freestyle filmmaking oscillating between inspired lunacy and half-baked practical jokes. While the constant wisecracking wears thin and falls short of director’s most unpredictable work, this is best enjoyed as a blinding post-modern western, thick with colour-coded costuming, retro-outfitting, and outlaw poses. Quentin Tarantino appears in a conspicuous cameo.
