There is, however, much more to Fulci, his filmography, and his legacy. In his home country, Fulci worked across a number of genres (including comedy and satire, western, historical drama and family adventure) and regularly criticized the Church and state through his films. The director wove a faith-based narrative from his earliest credits as a screenwriter and assistant director in the 1950s to his final films as director in the 1990s. This book analyzes how the tenets and iconography of Fulci's Roman Catholic faith appear in his films, plotting an apostate's journey through his art in the vein of celebrated Italian artists before him. The volume also considers how exploring his faith and apostasy through his films led Fulci to develop an entirely new storytelling mechanism which has influenced genre directors ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMatt Rogerson\u003c\/b\u003e lives in Manchester, United Kingdom, where he works in health research.
