This documentary examines the life and legacy of controversial Italian filmmaker Lucio Fulci through interviews with his colleagues, each of whom answers the question, "What is your fondest memory of Lucio Fulci?". The responses are as varied as the people who knew the late writer-director, providing a nuanced look at the man behind such gory grindhouse classics as City of the Living Dead and The House by the Cemetery.
Reviews
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
I've grown a bit too familiar with Fulci's most famous gore films, but I am still very much interested in the man himself. Whenever I'm in a Fulci state of mind, I put this interview compilation on. Chatty entries from Venantino Vanantini and Farbrizio Jovine are worth the DVD price alone, while Hal Yamanuchi and Massimo Vanni barely muster a word. Paolo Malco seems genuinely saddened by the director's untimely departure. Cosimo Cinieri's screen presence is amazing, considering it's just an interview he's in and not a film. Carla Cassola goes on and on painfully. It's amazing to finally hear Al Cliver's real voice(doesn't sound like Nick Alexander at all!). Shockingly, Malisa Longo seems to look even more attractive than she did in either of two Fulci's films she's been in 30 years previously (ah, those Italian actresses!) Looking forward to second part.
