Giovanni Attanasio, active in the late 1970s and early 1980s, brings a distinct presence to the exploitation genre. He appears in Private House of the SS (1977), where he navigates the dark undercurrents of a Nazi-themed narrative, and in Women's Camp 119 (1977), portraying the harsh realities of a women's prison camp. His role in The True Story of the Nun of Monza (1980) further cements his place within the realm of cult cinema, showcasing his ability to engage with provocative themes that challenge societal norms.
Women's Camp 119
A prisoner is forced to serve as a doctor's assistant, giving her a front row seat for the horrible goings-on. There's the experiment to revive Nazi soldiers who have frozen to death by having nude women rub their bodies all over the corpse (that one works), and the experiment tries to "cure" homosexual men by having nude women dance for them. This is only some of the horrors that are going on there.
