The Original “Django” returns to the big screen

The Enzian is showing the original “Django,” a spaghetti Western starring Franco Nero as a pistolero who drags a coffin with him from town to town, stirring up trouble. In the movie, he sets the KKK against Mexican banditos and plays both sides — kind of caught in the middle — kind of manipulating things, “Yojimbo” style.
Classic? Maybe not. But funky and it inspired Tarantino, who uses that theme song.

Midnight Friday and Saturday. Worth a look.
