Sleaze Artists: Cinema at the Margins of Taste, Style and Politics

Jeffrey Sconce

4.9/5 (21833 ratings)

Description:Bad Girls Go to Hell. Cannibal Holocaust. Eve & the Handyman. Examining film culture’s ongoing fascination with the low, bad & sleazy faces of cinema, Sleaze Artists brings together film scholars with a shared interest in the questions posed by disreputable movies & suspect cinema. They explore the ineffable quality of “sleaze” in relation to a range of issues, including the production realities of low-budget exploitation pictures & the ever-shifting terrain of reception & taste. Writing about horror, exploitation & sexploitation films, contributors delve into topics ranging from the place of the “Aztec horror film” in debates about Mexican national identity to a cycle of 60s films exploring homosexual desire in the military. One contributor charts the distribution saga of Mario Bava’s 1972 film Lisa & the Devil thru the highs & lows of art cinema, fringe tv, grindhouse circuits & connoisseur DVD markets. Another offers a perspective on the work of Doris Wishman, the NY housewife turned sexploitation director of the 60s who's become a cult figure in bad-cinema circles over the past decade. Others analyze the relation between image & sound in sexploitation films & Italian horror movies, the ad strategies adopted by sexploitation producers during the early 60s, the relationship between art & trash in Todd Haynes’s oeuvre, & the ways that the Friday the 13th series complicates the distinction between trash & legitimate cinema. The volume closes with an essay on why cinephiles love to hate the movies.Contributors: Harry M. Benshoff, Kay Dickinson, Chris Fujiwara, Colin Gunckel, Joan Hawkins, Kevin Heffernan, Matt Hills, Chuck Kleinhans, Tania Modleski, Eric Schaefer, Jeffrey Sconce, Greg TaylorWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
