The new Netflix Django series stars Matthias Schoenaerts and Noomi Rapace, and follows the titular hero during the early years of emancipation.
The Big Picture Many people who stumble upon Netflix's new series Django will likely wonder whether this western miniseries is related in any way to Quentin Tarantino's 2012 film Django Unchained which broke box office records becoming the highest-grossing western of all time. The short answer is no, although the movie's popularity certainly helps to draw in an audience for the show.
What Is the New 'Django' Series on Netflix About? Django follows its eponymous hero, this time played by Belgian actor Matthias Schoenaerts, best known for Red Sparrow, The Danish Girl, and the only actor reprise his Loft role in the 2014 American remake. Here, he's a version of Corbucci's Django with a haunted past. Without giving too much away, this Django has lost his entire family to tragedy, except for his headstrong daughter Sarah.
Just Like Corbucci Used to, This ‘Django’ Uses Its Genre as a Trojan Horse "Spaghetti Western" refers to a cinematic movement pioneered by Sergio Leone's Dollars trilogy, in which stories of the American frontier were produced by independent companies for cheap in Italy, hence its name. This inspired other countries to follow suit, with Spain's own entries being dubbed "Paella Westerns," and so on.
