Inferno Rosso: Joe D'Amato on the Road of Excess

Aristide Massaccesi AKA Joe D'Amato - A Documentary showed at the Venice
Film Festival. Made by Manlio Gomarasca and Massimiliano Zanin and with an
introduction by Nicolas Winding Refn.
Finally this outlaw legendary filmmaker gets his dues.

Aristide Massaccesi the master cinematographer, the wild horror director who
pushed the boundaries of the genre far into the yet unknown. and finally the
maker og crisp looking pornography.
He's one of my favourite filmmakers and his 1979 Buio Omega (Beyond the
Darkness) is one of the best horror movies ever made.

Other delightfully outrageous films and favourites of mine from D'Amato are :
1977 Emanuelle in America, 1977 Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals (both with
sexploitation icon Laura Gemser), 1979 Immagino di un Convento (Images in
a Convent) and the 1982 Caligula 2-The Untold Story.

The 72 minute documentary features discussions about Joe with i.a. Francesca
Massaccesi (daughter of Joe), Jess Franco R.I.P., Tinto Brass R.I.P., Ruggero
Deodato R.I.P., Luigi Montefiore, Lamberto Bava, Eli Roth, Michele Soavi,
Barbara Cupisti, Giannetto De Rossi
