Django, Kill! (If You Live Shoot!) (1967) Directed by Giulio Questi

Genre: Western

Despite its setting and plot trappings, Django, Kill! If You Live, Shoot! is not the average "spaghetti western." There are occasional outbursts of brutal action but director/co-writer Giulio Questi is much more interested in using the film's revenge and search-for-gold plot elements as a vehicle to create an eccentric, often darkly humorous commentary on the greed and hypocrisy that often lie beneath the veneer of a 'civilized' society. Thus, the usual spaghetti western thrills take a backseat to surreal flights of fancy and the approach to plotting and performance is handled in an highly stylized manner that has more in common with David Lynch than it does with Sergio Leone. As a result, Django, Kill! If You Live, Shoot! is likely to confound viewers looking for straightforward action but fans of art-house weirdness will find plenty to enjoy in this film: Franco Arcalli's editing makes dazzling use of rapid-cut montages in a way that is a good 15 years ahead of its time and Questi creates a variety of unforgettably bizarre setpieces from start to finish, the most memorable being a scene where wealth-hungry townspeople rip into a dying man after discovering the bullets riddling his body are made of gold. Django, Kill! If You Live, Shoot! further benefits from above-average acting, with Tomas Milian creating a compelling presence as the film's vengeful hero and Ray Lovelock providing a memorably expressive turn in a challenging, mostly silent role as the town's one innocent character.
