Comparing Erik the Conqueror
Gli Imitatori (2017)
*** (out of 4)
Writer Michael Mackenzie wrote and narrates this video essay that has him talking about Mario Bava's ERIK THE CONQUEROR and its connections to Richard Fleischer's THE VIKINGS. If you're familiar with Italian cinema then you know that they were great at copying other films and bringing their own style and often their own level of violence to them. Mackenzie's twelve-minute piece compares the two pictures as well as gives you a good idea of the various types of genres that the Italians worked in. The main focus of this essay is to take a look at both films, discuss their connections and discuss the certain changes that were made in the Bava piece. This is certainly a highly entertaining piece where Mackenzie does a nice job at explaining the two films in a variety of ways. There's nothing ground-breaking here but if you've seen both movies then you're going to find it fascinating.
