I lovehate Tarantino

Rating: 9/10 (31 March 2013)

He has done it again. Tarantino has managed to make me lovehate another one of his movies. Django Unchained has his director signature on each one of its frames: overpowering loud music, wardrobe malfunctions, body parts flying, ridiculously clever dialogues, constant surprises. That's him. I do hate Tarantino for getting so much involved in a movie like an attention seeking teenager with lack of self esteem. But I love him for creating such original, provoking, entertaining and brilliantly acted form of modern art. What this time struck me, is Tarantino's tribute to Italian artists with the padre of Spaghetti Western, Sergio Leone, as well as Sergio Corbucci, who directed the original Django, starred by Franco Nero who had a small cameo appearance. The unique melodies of Ennio Morricone dominated again as the perfect soundtrack of Django Unchained while Elisa (Ancora Qui) song deserves credit if not an award. If you, like myself, hate Tarantino for being cocky and showing off, Django Unchained will give you a noisy slap on your face and make you love one of the best directors of the past decades.
