Argento! Bava! Fulci! The Giallo Gems of Dardano Sacchetti (2010)

*** 1/2 (out of 4)

This thirty-three minute interview with Dardano Sacchetti has him talking about the various giallo films that he made with the likes of Dario Argento, Mario Bava and Lucio Fulci. The writer opens up about how he stole Argento's phone number, which led to a meeting and them working together. From here he explains how he ended up writing Bava's A BAY OF BLOOD and SHOCK as well as what it was like working with Fulci on eight of the director's films.

Needless to say but if you're a fan of these three artists then you're certainly going to enjoy this interview with a man who worked with all three. What makes this interview so good is that we not only get an idea of how Sacchetti got into the business and stayed in it but we get a great behind-the-scenes look at how the three directors were at various things ranging from what they most wanted out of a screenplay to how they related to actors. The writer talks about Argento not minding plot holes as long as the style was there and he has some surprising comments about Fulci and his actors.
