Linee d'ombra
Macchie solari (Autopsy), L'etrusco uccide ancora (The Etruscan kills again), commandos are titles that refer to a category for lovers, that of B-movies, Italian thriller of the '60s and' 70s. But in the life and in the poetry of their director, Armando Crispino, there is more, says his son Francesco. Searching for a meeting with his father in the maze of his production, he finds himself investigating the world of Italian genre cinema. Finding that even in this area left in the shadows by the critical discourse we can find more, and better, than we think.
