“I Find that God is in the Mistakes, I’m Finding Moments Where the Actors Don’t Know the Camera’s on Them”: Hank Corwin on Editing Don’t Look Up

Django Unchained Review

This time, he unleashes Django Unchained. It’s an historical shoot-em-up drama set in the antebellum era of the American South. Django (Jamie Foxx) is a slave-turned-bounty hunter who sets out to rescue his wife (Kerry Washington) from a sadistic plantation owner (Leonard DiCaprio). At his side is his mentor, a German bounty hunter named Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz who brilliantly played […]
