Cinema is Dope

I posted my interview with ENZO G. CASTELLARI on Twitch earlier this week. It marks my second interview with him and this was more of a quick one. I have to say Mr. Castellari is one of the classiest people I’ve ever met in the film business and to know him is like having a new best friend. Haven’t seen him in awhile now and I miss his energy and always coming up and punching me in the shoulder to say hi.

Rocking Eiga Chirashi artwork for the crime film High Crime (La Polizia incrimina la legge assolve), that started the Italian crime film wave back in Italy back in the 70’s. Started is putting it mildly, the movie kick started this wave like a powder keg blowing up a planet. I really dig this unusual but effective artwork here and think Franco Nero and Enzo G. Castellari will definitely love seeing this rare gem. I should have my interview with Enzo G. Castellari up on Twitch sometime later this month.

All I can say is… wow! Life is surreal sometimes. I really am not the “get my picture taken with someone” type of person. I rarely do it. Always feels a bit cheesy. However when I do come across an artist that I highly respect, admire and has been a huge influence on me… then it’s hard to resist. Yesterday when I met Italian crime cinema legend Enzo G. Castellari I had to get a picture taken just to make sure I wasn’t in the fog of a dream. I did a quick interview with him for Twitch and it was an absolute blast. I just ate up all his stories and remembrances of his films and influences and just everything he had to say. He was a master storyteller and it was a huge rush getting some of his stories down for history’s sake. Now let’s just cross our fingers and hope Blue Underground still releases “High Crime” next year.
