Trailer for House of the Flesh Mannequins, which screened at the 2009 Santa Fe Film Festival.
A nostalgic homage that winks at the classic films from the 70’s. The cinematography of Mirco Sgarzi recalls with personality the atmospheres of the best Fulci and Argento’s movie. This is cinema by one who loves cinema, a movie rich of winks and citations that the most expert (and not) will be amused to pick: from Lynch surrealism of the 30’s, passing through Fulci and Cronemberg. International porn stars and regular actors working together for the first time with extreme body art used in torture scenes. Everything is real, but at the same time, everything is done for the purpose of creating a movie, which is anything but real. The movie presents a compelling case against the use of gratuitous violence, on TV, as well as, the self-righteous, sanctimonious ways that society chooses to confront children’s issues.
