Intensely enjoyable 'Southern'

Rating: 9/10 (3 March 2013)

This is the most enjoyable film I have seen in a while. Jamie Foxx is absolutely gorgeous and intense, Leonardo Di Caprio made for a surprisingly convincing and detestable villain but my favourite character was Dr. King Schultz, articulate and superb, I loved him. In keeping with the tradition of westerns this includes beautiful scenery and, of course, violence - in Tarantino's style: excessive and bloody but so well orchestrated that it is a pleasure to watch throughout. I enjoyed the choice of music and the references to series B westerns. There are also several comic moments in the film, well calculated as a relief to the tension created by the violence. The Ku Klux Klan scene, inserted at a point where we fear for our heroes, was hilarious and is bound to become a classic clip. Beautifully done and fully recommended.
