Nicolas Winding Refn – Mario Bava’s Terrore nello Spazio

Angelo Acerbi interviews Nicolas Winding Refn , about his particicpation to the restoration of the film PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES (Terrore nello Spazio).

His love for this film is deep and passionate, and very clear in his words; many narrative and aesthetical aspects of the film are key for many horror and science fiction films to come (Alien, for example).

Besides this specific issues, we find out what kind of films Refn watches, how he decides to tell a story, what attracts and intrigues him, and why he’s not interested in the quarrel between film print and digital. Pretty important and interesting stuff.
