Maverick Japanese director
Takashi Miike re-teams with longtime writing partner
Masa Nakamura (
Andromedia,
The Bird People of China) for this
Western inspired by
Sergio Corbucci's violent 1966 classic
Django. It's been hundreds of years since the Battle of Dannoura, yet the Genji and Heiki clans are still feuding. In this poor mountain town, there is rumored to be a great hidden treasure. Genji gang leader
Yoshitsune is sure that his white-clad warriors will find the treasure first, but
Kiyomori and his red-clothed Heike gang aren't about to walk away empty-handed. When a mysterious lone gunman with an incredibly fast trigger finger rolls into town, everyone wonders which gang he will join. As betrayal, deception, and cold-blooded murder become commonplace, the silence of this once-quiet mountain town will be broken by the piercing echo of gunfire and the air will become dense with the smell of death.
