De Angelis, Guido & Maurizio
Il Cacciatore Di Squali (blue)
the complete original motion picture soundtrack for the movie Il cacciatore di squali, directed in 1979 by Enzo G. Castellari. Superstar Franco Nero is Mike Di Donato, an Italian-American with a mysterious past dominated by a terrible event from which he is probably fleeing, leads the life of a good savage on a deserted island with his own version of Friday, played by Marta Miller, the gorgeous Argentinian actress with a prolific career in genre cinema. There are obviously many differences between this and Defoe's Crusoe, as this is a contemporary story that merely takes some aesthetic inspiration from the aforementioned novel, mainly the isolation from civilization and immersion in nature. In this movie, we have a lot of modern-day elements such as the struggle against authoritarianism, technology, bullying attitudes from the not-too-specific organization with which Mike was employed, and the search for a lost treasure hidden inside a plane 120 meters below the surface of the ocean which apparently can only be retrieved by the protagonist.
