According to Jamie Foxx—and despite what you may have heard so far—Quentin Tarantino’s latest genre mash-up, the spaghetti-Western- slash-blaxploitation-saga Django Unchained, is a love story, not a revenge fantasy.
Foxx, who plays a freed slave on a violent odyssey through the antebellum South to find his unemancipated wife, lowers his voice to a guttural whisper to imitate Tarantino’s constant reminders of his motivation: “You want your woman!”
His partner in the journey is Inglourious Basterds Oscar winner Christoph Waltz—the duo head up a loaded cast that also includes Samuel L. Jackson, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Don Johnson as vintage QT villains—and just as he did in Basterds, Waltz brings to the movie a kind of silky Continental braininess.
But he may have missed the memo on the love-story bit. “Quentin’s movies are grand cinematic opera,” says Waltz. “Slavery in this case would be the great dilemma, and the great dilemma of the hero is: To avenge or not to avenge?” This is a Tarantino flick, so take a wild guess.
