Sinopsys Who was Aristide Massaccesi, alias Joe D’amato? In America he was a genius of horror, in France a master of eroticism, in Italy a craftsman of b-movies with a thousand pseudonyms. For everyone: the king of porn. Producer, director, author, editor, electrician, cameraman and director of photography. A man made of cinema with hundreds of films made ranging from porn to horror, from science fiction to spaghetti-westerns, from the decamerotic to b-movies on American soil. One, none, a hundred genres all in one author. A brave, crazy, reckless life dedicated to a single, unique, unstoppable and catastrophic obsession: the film set.
