Ruggero Deodato

Italian maestro of the macabre, Ruggero Deodato was born in Potenza, Italy in 1939 and has been actively contributing to the film industry since 1964. Known mainly for his controversial horror and exploitation films, Deodato's most infamous works include the notorious "Cannibal Holocaust" (1980) and "House on the Edge of the Park" (1980), yet his body of work has never been recognized with significant awards at major film festivals. His signature style is characterized by graphic violence and social commentary, often pushing boundaries and challenging audience's comfort zones. Beneath Deodato's chilling cinematic exterior lies a craftsman passionately dedicated to his craft, always ready to provoke thought and unsettle with his unflinching vision.
