Our take

A prolific trailblazer and creative virtuoso, Piero Vivarelli made films in all genres, wrote pop hits and the spaghetti western Django, loved by Quentin Tarantino. Fiery and full of action, this film shows the life he lived loudly and the revolutionary spirit he brought to 1960s Italian cinema.
