The 24th Panorama concludes the tribute to Samuel Fuller that began last year with great success. Celebrating 100 years from his birth in 2012, the tribute will conclude the introspection into the influential work of the great director. With “Run of the Arrow”, Fuller signed one of his most complex films and offered us a western that dares to look straight into the History of America. With the absolutely choreographed cinemascope and the tough dialogues, “House of Bamboo” is a daring film noir, as far as the depiction of violence and the controversial eroticism are concerned, while “Shock Corridor” goes deep into the mouth of madness with no purpose of coming back, by adopting the insanity of the inmates in a lunatic asylum and by directing a symbolic masterpiece –a point of reference in the history of American cinema. “Naked Kiss” represents Fuller’s nihilistic take on human society and, despite the interventions made by the studio, it remains his most extreme film. The tribute concludes with two film noir classics, “Pickup on South Street” (with the famous New York subway struggle scene) and “Crimson Kimono” that constitutes an audacious approach to interracial love.
