Description de l'ouvrage:
Examines the American exploitation film – blaxploitation, exploitation-horror and sexploitation – between 1959 and 1977
What is an exploitation film? The Style of Sleaze reasons that the aesthetic and thematic approach of the key texts within three distinct exploitation demarcations – blaxploitation, horror and sexploitation – indicate a concurrent evolution of filmmaking that could be seen as an identifiable cinematic movement. Offering a fresh perspective on studies of marginal cinema, The Style of Sleaze maintains that defining exploitation cinema as a vaguely attributed 'excess' is unhelpful, and instead concludes that this period in American film history produced a number of the most transgressive, and yet morally complex, motion pictures ever made.
À propos de l'auteur :
Calum Waddell is a Lecturer in Film at the University of Aberdeen
Revue de Presse:
In its focus on the taboo-breaking and transgressive elements of 1970s exploitation cinema, The Style of Sleaze is set to be as important a publication in this area as Eric Schaefer's Bold! Daring! Shocking! True! A recognition to the importance of further study into the wonderful world of American "trash" cinema.– Mikel J. Koven, University of Worcester
