Sergio Martino special guest!
SERGIO MARTINO
A man of multiple pseudonyms: Julian Barry, Martin Dolman, Serge Martin, Christian Plummer, George Raminto…
Can you guess who am I speaking of?
Hard to tell! But if you are Italian or just a fan of Italian 70’s Italian sub-genre’s movies of the so called Italian Golden Era, you probably will guess the real name behind all these pseudonyms
SERGIO MARTINO, one of the most prolific and versatile directors of documentary, sex-comedy, war and westerns made in Italy will be one the honoured guests of Cine-Excess Film Festival IV edition. I won’t miss the occasion to ask him the reasons of so many pseudonyms.
Looking at his Filmography some of his movies have particular struck my attention:
“Your Vice is a Room and only I have the Key”(1972) and “ The scorpion with two tails” (1982).
The first one is a very loose adaptation of the Edgar Allan Poe’s novel: “The Black Cat”. Martino's scenes of Sapphic love-making, series of mysterious murders and a thrilling set, makes many directors of the same genre, quite jealous of his work.
In line with the current revival of the 70’s mood, clothes and icons, the Martino’s vintage sexy giallo turns to be very contemporary and worth watching. Maybe that’s the reason why I have been so quickly captured by the plot and some of its sequences. Not to mention the movie poster, just amazing! Something you would like to hang on your wall!
Excess is the key word to understand and appreciate Cult movies in which Marino’s cinematic production takes part. The Excess is expressed since the beginning by the title that is always recognisable for its length and for the impact of its words, as well as the violent and dramatic sequences.
“ The scorpion with two tails” (1982) is another masterpiece of the Italian B-movie genre. Drawing on the earlier 1972 picture by Armando Crispino “The Etruscan Kills Again” (L’etrusco uccide ancora ) Martino uses the Italian history to create a sucessuful thiller that succeds in giving a new wave of energy to the giallo genre of which is an unquenstioned master!

The Time Out and Cine Excess have lauched the script-to-screen competition!
Every dreamer is a filmmaker...and if your dream is actually a nightmare?
There is a dark side in each of us and as the stylist Steven Macqueen once said, there's nothing better than express it.Cine-Excess in collaboration with Time Out magazine has lauched the " script-to-screen competition" along with a massive celebration of horror movies. You don't have to be a screenwriter. You just need of a "horrific" idea to put on 30 words. Your passion will do the rest and make you win one day pass to Cine-Excess Film Festival 2012 and a package of horror DvDs from Lionsgate.
Easy you may say! Well, i gave it a shot and that's the result...
A man like many others living alone an ordinary life in his rented flat. As the movie goes we realize he’s depressed and dissociated from the reality. He is affected by sleepwalking. Days pass like hours so that he looses the track of time. He is a delirium: the water which he is washing his hands and brushing his teeth with as well as the water he is drinking, it is not just water but it looks and tastes like blood. At first he is disgusted but lately he starts loving it. Soon an idea starts growing in his mind: drinking is not enough…he needs to eat.
