The Daily Movie Wallpaper
Wednesday, April 14, 2010

This is the type of iconic image of Franco Nero and Enzo G. Castellari’s, High Crime (La polizia incrimina la legge assolve) that I expect to find just as common in poster shops and cult places around the world and populating the homes of film lovers world wide. How this image is not more common I have no idea but glad to offer it up here in all its glory and restored. I can think of few better images of Franco Nero and this incredibly rare one from a Japanese still of the film might just be the best!

Fans of Poliziottesco/Poliziotteschi cinema should keep a watch for Mike Malloy’s documentary that fully explores it inside and out called Eurocrime! The Italian Cop and Gangster Films that Ruled the ’70s (Facebook Fan Page).

ENZO G. CASTELLARI Interview

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.

Blake Meets Enzo G. Castellari @ The 40th Sitges Film Festival

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.
