Quentin Tarantino · 2012 · overland

Quentin Tarantino's 2012 western. A German bounty hunter buys a slave in Texas because he needs a man who can identify three targets, and finds a partner instead. Together they work north and then deep into Mississippi, to a plantation where Django's wife has been sold - and where the pretence they arrive with lasts exactly as long as it needs to.
