Michele Soavi

The legend, according to Mockbusters.tv

A total chameleon: Michele Soavi switches genres between takes, and no format has ever managed to hold him. From his very first tracking shot, everyone agreed a young prodigy had arrived, though nobody knew which shelf to put him on. His name travels in whispers through casting rooms worldwide, spoken with reverence and mild panic. And then there's his signature gift: glancing off-camera as if something enormous were happening there. In 'Alien 2 - On Earth' and 'Caligola', something always was.

A portrait from the Mockbusters.tv satirical universe: humorous praise, not a factual biography.
