Keoma [BLU-RAY] [REGION FREE]

KEOMA‘s creators – Italian director Enzo G. Castellariand its star, legendary actor Franco Nero – are icons to Quentin Tarantino, who famously called Castellari ‘My Master’ when reimagining his ‘Inglorious Bastards‘ (even inviting him for a cameo). Equally a devoted fan of Franco Nero – who rose to fame as the original anti-hero gunslinger Django – Tarantino also gave him a scene-stealing appearance in his tribute, ‘Django Unchained‘.

Also known as “The Violent Breed“, this title emphasizes the film’s brutal action sequences and fits with the film’s gritty tone. Keoma‘s bold visual style – marked by Castellari’s stylistic DNA of extravagant slow-motion, dynamic camera work, and operatic violence – is clearly seen as having left a lasting mark on Tarantino’s entire filmography, revealing how deeply these Italian trendsetters shaped one of Hollywood’s most influential directors.

Screen-legend Franco Nero reprises his relentless deadly gunslinger persona, now as the eponymous Keoma who, returning to his hometown, finds it ruled by a gang of sadistic killers. With the help of his old friend (a superb Woody Strode), Keoma unleashes a brutal and bloody war against the ruthless bunch in a bitter showdown where only one man will be left standing.

This gritty, no-holds-barred western classic is now presented from 2K restored vault materials, finally showcasing its iconic set pieces and striking action cinematography like never before.
