“Django Unchained” breathes its own refreshing, occasionally demented, life into that time period, albeit in a pulpy, stylized cinematic language more akin to vampire-hunter cartoonishness than “Lincoln’s” more classical reserve. But the art of creative anachronism Tarantino practices in this extravaganza of Southern gothic camp is far more successful than 2009’s “Inglourious Basterds” in meaningfully engaging the history it’s repurposing.
