Felipe knew that Ruggero Deodato used to be angry when asked about certain subjects. So he chose to cover the Italian director's filmography in the early days of filming, leaving the controversial questions for the last day. To his surprise (and this can be seen in the documentary), Deodato began talking on his own about the controversy of actual animal deaths in some of his films, a topic he often refuses to discuss.
Some things that were deleted from the final cut for the sake of pace: Deodato commenting on the TV series he directed in the 1970s (Il triangolo rosso (1967) and All'ultimo minuto (1971)); the story about how Lamberto Bava (then assistant director) was bitten by a real snake during the filming of Last Cannibal World (1977); scene comparisons of Last Cannibal World (1977) and Cannibal Holocaust (1980); Deodato revealing that James Franciscus was always drunk during the filming of Concorde Affaire '79 (1979); more stories about Cannibal Holocaust (1980)'s art direction and special effects, and the fact that cannibals are interpreted by Brazilian Indians; Deodato talking passionately about Sergio Leone (and comparing himself to him in the obsession with details).
This is the second documentary produced by Fantaspoa Produções and directed by Felipe M. Guerra about the life and career of an Italian filmmaker. The first was FantastiCozzi (2016), about Luigi Cozzi's filmography. Both documentaries were filmed while their interviewees were at Fantaspoa - International Fantastic Film Festival of Porto Alegre, thus reducing production costs to practically zero.
Director Felipe M. Guerra met Ruggero Deodato in São Paulo in 2012. At the time, the Italian director was surprised by how many things Felipe knew about his career and his films. When Deodato mentioned that he didn't watch Atlantis Interceptors (1983) (passionately mentioned by the Brazilian all the time) since the Eighties, Felipe recorded a pirate copy of the movie to him - and then made a joke on Facebook: "I never imagined that one day I would bootleg a movie for his own director!".
Ruggero Deodato avoided more personal questions about his childhood and about his relationship with actress Silvia Dionisio. But spoke affectionately about his relationship with actress Valentina Forte (with whom he shot Cut and Run (1984), Body Count (1986) and TV series I ragazzi del muretto (1991)), and didn't like the fact that his testimony about her was deleted in the final cut.
