Opera Meets Film: Verdi’s Requiem As Camp in ‘Django Unchained’

February 2, 2018 By Respiro E Movimento · Follow us: Facebook · Twitter · Instagram · YouTube

Opera meets Film

The film itself contains no music from the maestro at Bayreuth. That said, it does contain one section of “Operatic” music, specifically the “Dies Irae” from Verdi’s Requiem.

In the context of the film, playing alongside shots of the Ku Klux Klan riding into a valley, torches in hand and horses running at full speed, it comes off as a bit exaggerated and over-the-top. Of course, this is what Tarantino wants as what follows is one of the most hilarious scenes in any of his films, the corrupt organization portrayed as a bunch of fools, at best.
