The legendary grand master of European action cinema Enzo G. Castellari is coming to this year's Grossmann Fantastic Film and Wine Festival, where he will receive the honorary Lifetime Achievement Award. In his amazing body of work he has treated the audiences with numerous westerns, crime, postapocayptic and war films, as well as comedies and horror films. He is renowned for tense action scenes, innovative camera work and editing, and use of slow-motion, while all of his films possess very special energy and dynamics. He has started the explosion of Italian poliziotteschi films with High Crime (1973), made the last spaghetti western masterpiece with Keoma (1976), brought us the ultimate Italian postapocalyptic film with 1990: The Bronx Warriors (1982), while his war film The Inglorious Bastards (1978) made a profound influence on young Quentin Tarantino, who has later made his famous remake.
