It's funny. Quentin's S&S top 10 list was all English language films, but dude is obviously well steeped in subtitled flicks. It doesn't bother me, but it's an interesting directorial choice.

Is Ito a big fan of Bava?
Posted by: Not David Bordwell | August 21, 2012 at 11:06 PM
It would be interesting to know if Bava was seen and appreciated in Japan, or if his work corresponds to an independent Japanese tradition. There are certainly numerous points of comparison.
MASK OF SATAN = ONIBABA
BLACK SABBATH = KWAIDAN
PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES = GOKE BODYSNATCHER FROM HELL
BLOOD AND BLACK LACE = EVERYTHING
