Life
Castellari comes from a family closely related to Italian film; for example, his father Marino Girolami was also a director, brother Ennio and sister Stefania were actors. Enzo Castellari, who studied architecture and was active as a boxer for a while , was also used by his father in several roles as an actor and worked, among other things, as an assistant director . After the unofficial staging of a film (1966), he was able to start his own directing career the next year. Castellari made numerous films as a director in the 1960s and 1970s. Two Poliziottesco films and the spaghetti western Keoma - The Song of Death with Franco Nero are considered highlights of his work . These films impressed with their innovative camera work. In Italy are dead witnesses do not sing , A citizen defends himself and The Day of the Cobra as cult films . With Fabio Testi he also shoots the police film Racket and Dealer Connection - The Street of Heroin . Quentin Tarantino has often indicated that Castellari had a strong influence on his style; his film Inglourious Basterds is a remake of a 1978 work by Castellari.
In later years Castellari made some end-time Mad Max- style films and worked mainly for television after the decline of Italian cinema. In 1993 he shot The Revenge of the White Indian , the content of which is based on Keoma . For years he has been announcing the shooting of a new western (working title: Nikita Jones ) with Franco Nero.
