Tarantino and Nero at Corbucci-Hommage

Before the documentary premiered on Wednesday, 79-year-old Franco Nero said Tarantino was a huge fan of his work. “He knew all about my films,” Nero said. He was even able to quote many of his dialogues. With his revenge drama Django Unchained (2012), Tarantino explored elements of Corbucci’s work and tackled the persecution of minorities.

In his successful work “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” with Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt, Tarantino, who did not attend the Venice Festival, played in parallel with Spaghetti Western. Django and Django by Luca Rea is out of competition at the Venice Film Festival.
