Many thanks to the Tokyo Scum Brigade for posting this gem of a video clip. Here we have a clip from a travel special in 1994 where Kazuo Umezu goes to Rome and meets SFX artist Sergio Stivaletti, and gets a guided tour of the horror shop/museum Profondo Ross by its owner, director Dario Argento!
For more details and a link to the complete TV show, please check out their recent post.
UPDATE: VIDEO NO LONGER AVAILABLE :/
What a strange but perfect team-up, huh? I never really realized how much Argento looks like a child murdering undertaker... pretty awesome! Also, Umezz's coat is something to behold. Thanks to the TSB for uploading it!
Man, it's my two favorite worlds colliding in the best way possible.
ReplyDeleteI know, right? It's sorta a toss-up over which would make me geek out harder.
ReplyDeleteNo wait, it would be Umezu :)
On Tokyo Scum, the guys were talking about the idea of Argento directing an adaptation of Baptism. Can you imagine?
That was a sweet video :). Shame the other parts are unsubbed.
ReplyDeleteArgento looks kinda like Poe imo?
i love how umezu contrast with argento
ReplyDeleteumezu is still a kid,a happy kid and argento is this dark guy who has horror writed all over his face
thanks same hat for this video
and thanks for the postcard!!!
@Brendan: Yeah, I agree! I was expecting a different-looking guy for some reason. I guess you can kinda see his daughter Asia in his eyes? A little bit?
ReplyDelete@mxxbock: Totally. Argento seems really strange, but in a way that i totally expected; whereas, Umezu is such a funny and joyful guy. The contrast is awesome, especially in that they both seem to really like each other :)
