Moving, original investigation into the world of Fulci - just magic.
Pretty entertaining but not all that revealing of Fulci
Mockumentary or documentary, it is an interesting watch. I know his films well, and would prefer the animal exploits out of his films, but it’s what got him noticed in the 1970s like with other directors, who were more known for gore. Take it for what it’s worth, may not have put Fulci and company in the best of ways, but it’s the 70s which was I think the last decade for real animal sacrifice and torture, thankfully.
A brilliant pseudo-documentary that blends fact and fiction into an engrossing watch.
What a beautiful, moving, and human tribute. Wonderful.
