Keoma (film)

Keoma, also released in various countries under the titles Django Rides Again and The Violent Breed, is a 1976 Spaghetti Western film directed by Enzo G. Castellariand starring Franco Nero and Donald O'Brien. It is regarded by some as one of the better late Spaghetti Westerns, incorporating many newer cinematic techniques of the time (such as slow motion and close/medium panning shots), gun fights, and having an anti-hero & vocal musical soundtrack.[1]

Plot[edit]
After the U.S. Civil War, Keoma (Nero), part Indian and part white, returns to his home town to find his half-brothers in alliance with a petty tyrant named Caldwell. Caldwell and his gang rule over the town with an iron fist. With the help of his father and George, an old Black friend, he vows revenge. Keoma also shows compassion when he saves a pregnant woman from a group sent by Caldwell's group to be quarantined in a mine camp full of plague victims. Keoma is constantly visited by the apparition of an older woman ("The Witch") who saved him during the massacre of an Indian camp.
