Since I have become involved in the whole cinema world or more specifically making it, I’ve always wanted to make a Western, being somewhat of a fan. Last night, I accidentally stumbled on a film which I had sometimes envisioned myself making, an Asian Western. Yes! An Asian Spaghetti Western. I always had the idea of taking the elements of a Western and set them in an Asian background, or more specifically Khmer. However, this film is Japanese. In a gross over simplification, it's what it would be like if Japanese Samurai film meets the Spaghetti Western. I don’t like to ruin a movie experience, especially the first time, for people by trying to describe too much what it is so let me just say that it is visually striking, funny throughout, and undeniably fresh. I still don’t know how I feel about the film entirely as it has not sunk in yet so I need to go watch it a couple more times and you should also treat yourself to this film if you want to see somewhat of a re-envision of the Spaghetti Western. Oh! The film is called Sukiyaki Western Django, directed by the controversial Japanese director Takashi Miike.
