The Style of Sleaze : The American Exploitation Film, 1959 - 1977 Paperback / softback
by Calum Waddell
Part of the Traditions in American Cinema series
Paperback / softback
- Information
Description
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.
