Former dentist, Dr. King Schultz, buys the freedom of
a slave, Django, and trains him with the intent to make him his deputy bounty
hunter. Instead, he is led to the site of Django's wife who is under the hands

There exist certain features which, if found in a
movie, point out that the director is Quentin Tarantino. You can always tell
the Tarantino film apart from the rest – he is absolutely unique in what he is
doing. He is in love with films of 80’s and 90’s; he devotes a lot of time to
the work with camera, and he is able to mimic the camera work of almost any era
he wishes to; his characters are charismatic and memorable; he loves to think
that he films the advertisement of Heinz ketchup by the looks of the amount of
blood that is spilled. But most important of all are the dialogs – you will
never find this kind of dialogs in a movie by other directors. They can be
empty in substance, they may not convey any message or lead the plot sequence,
but they are interesting to listen to, they are witty, smart, sharp and
effervescent. The dialogs are Tarantino’s trademark, and his contribution to
the cinema (at least for now) is definitely putting the art of writing dialogs
to the next level.
