Cesare Canevari

Italian film director known for genre and experimental films, including Io, Emmanuelle (1969) and Matalo! (1970). Often discussed in cult/pulp cinema circles.

Italian filmmaker active in the 1960s–1970s, noted for unconventional takes on genre cinema; Matalo! (1970) is frequently cited for its sparse dialogue, surreal atmosphere and soundtrack by Mario Migliardi.

Reviews present Matalo! (1970) as an anomalous, often-unique spaghetti western marked by minimal dialogue, surreal/psychedelic atmospheres and memorable music by Mario Migliardi. The cast includes Lou Castel and other actors not typically associated with the genre. The film is presented as a cult, divisive piece rather than a box-office success.

For:Fans of spaghetti westerns, Italian genre cinema, and cult/pulp film enthusiasts.
