Editorial Review: Product Description: Two clans the white genji clan led by yoshitsune and the red heike clan led by kiyomori battle for a legendary treasure in a desolate mountain town. One day a lone gunman drifts into town. Two clans try to woo the lone gunman to their side but he has ulterior motives. Studio: First Look Home Entertain Release Date: 11/11/2008 Run time: 98 minutes Rating: R Amazon.com: The prolific Takashi Miike co-wrote and directed this strikingly postmodern remake of Sergio Corbucci's 1966 Spaghetti Western, Django. The story is much the same, but the highly stylized fusion of Japanese gangsterism and operatic musings on the Western form makes for a wild and unexpected cult movie. Still, there is not much here beyond the film's relentlessly creative surface, making Sukiyaki a bit wearying. Feuding for centuries, the Genji and Heiki clans both arrive in a 19th century Nevada town, determined to find hidden treasure rumored to be there. In the midst of their fighting comes a solitary gunslinger (Hideaki Ito) courted by each clan to work for them. When he refuses, the cross-currents of betrayal and murder escalate, and hidden truths behind at least one tragedy, and the real identity of an unlikely shooter, come to the surface. The film's energy, dynamic camerawork and almost tongue-in-cheek performances are fun and admirable, and Miike has a fascinating sense of composition. The story gets a little soft just past the halfway point and Miike attempts to fill the void with exhausting new ways of filming bloody mayhem for its own sake. Quentin Tarantino has a small role as a mystery man with a link to these events. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Really BadJust because a movie is a parody of a genre does not mean it is a good parody. I found this film to be a bad waste of time. No surprise that the story line is familiar ... that is expected. However, everything that happens in the movie is obvious and just plain dumb. The film is gratuitously violent which is far from the worst part of the movie. It is extremely hard to impossible to understand the dialogue. Either this film needs to be subtitled, dubbed or have the actors learn to articulate ...

Rating: - A Great Big Wonderful Unwatchable Mess of a Movie!This parody of a Spaghetti Western, crazily bizarre and wonderful although thoroughly unwatchable has the look and feel of something Salvador Dali has made by grafting Kurosawa to Leone and then adding his own surrealist interpretation of Shakespeare's Henry V. Just as Hegel thought he witnessed the end of history through, I believe, Napoleon, Miike seems to be making the final word on Post-Modernism. The premise, roughly speaking, is the same as that found in Kurosawa's Yojimbo, the setting is ...

Rating: - A Noble AttemptWhen I saw this trailer, I knew I must see the movie! Sukiyaki Western Django is an ambitious attempt to place Japanese sensibilities in to a uniquely American genre: the western. While it is essentially a remake of A Fist Full of Dollars, Sukiyaki Western Django is at once so much more and so much less. To quote another western, it is "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly." The Good: The film is beautifully shot. There is no denying it. There are some scenes which leave you dumbfounded. ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
