Fulci is, with all his flaws, superior to this Kurosawa, historically speaking, if nothing else. And since, FOR ME, cinema is anything but popcorn and a couch, the historical dimension of a film/author matters a lot. <<<< well, can you tell me what the innovations of Fulci's cinema would be? Come on!

Yes, but you haven't told me which films resemble Kairo.

that then talking disparagingly about mainstream cinema and then discussing Fulci's art is quite a big contradiction, huh

a nice little movie that falls within the anonymous average of Eastern horror made with a cookie-cutter mold<<< can you name just one other film that resembles Kairo? Anyway, you talk about historical importance as if you actually watch for that in movies. It’s a relative concept: in twenty years, these will be celebrated as historical horrors. For my part, I'm not interested in establishing records, and I notice that Japan has been incredibly important in horror precisely because it has truly made scary films, where most of the old horrors, as beautiful as they may be, aren't scary at all, or very little. Celebrating Fulci as a great master while casually trashing Japanese horror seems rather shortsighted to me.

No, wait, there are things by Fulci that I like quite a bit too, *Sette note in nero*, *Una lucertola con la pelle di donna*, *Non si sevizia un paperino*, for example. But between liking him and making Fulci a cornerstone of cinema there’s a big difference.

Elected, look, campanilismo is exactly the same attitude as that of those who unconditionally adore everything that comes out of Japan. I really like Avati, but to say that Zeder is a masterpiece, come on. Japan has done excellent things in horror, especially creating some of the most genuinely frightening films ever seen. Kairo is absolutely not a perfect film as far as I'm concerned, but it is truly unsettling.

Now a film "that is art" cannot be "famous" <<<< I didn't say that, I said that this is not for me (just as it wasn't for Bergman) one of his best films. It is definitely the most famous one, that's for sure.

I believe it might be time to take up a collection and gift Duane a brain, as he never fails to offer pearls. After having snubbed Daniele for a long time, I rediscovered him quite recently thanks to Napoli Centrale (which I adore), and I really like his early records (forgive me for the banality).
