For cult film fans, Franco Nero is best known for his iconic screen role as the amoral but deadly gunslinger in Corbucci’s landmark western, which was itself the subject of notoriety for its excessive scenes of violence and torture. In this exclusive onstage interview, Franco Nero will be discussing his career, the importance of Italian cinema of the 1960s and 1970s and why the cult of Django never dies. The interview will be followed by an exclusive screening of Corbucci’s influential spaghetti splatter movie Django.
