Pupi Avati, born in Bologna in 1938, transitioned from a budding jazz musician to a filmmaker inspired by Federico Fellini's vision in the 1960s. His works often reflect his roots and musical passions, particularly in All The Souls... Except the Dead (1977), where he serves as both director and writer. Avati's unique storytelling is complemented by his contribution to Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom (1975), showcasing his complex narrative style within the realms of Italian cinema.
All The Souls... Except the Dead
Dante must sell books on the legends related to the noble families of Emilia-Romagna to the descendants of the families themselves. When he arrives at the castle Zanotti, he learns that the head of the family, the Marquis Ignazio, has just died that morning.
