George Kuchar: Reflections from a Cinematic Cesspool, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A rollicking picaresque memoir on moviemaking from the titans of underground trash cinema.

In the grimy underbelly of underground cinema, the Kuchar brothers have long been the mad prophets of experimental filmmaking. Reflections from a Cinematic Cesspool is a raucous, unfiltered journey through the minds of two artists who transformed trash into transcendent art.

From the fever dreams of their early New York experiments to the psychotronic landscapes of their San Francisco period, George and Mike Kuchar consistently defied every convention of filmmaking. This is not just a memoir—it's a manifesto. With raw, unapologetic prose, they dissect their revolutionary and idiosyncratic approach to cinema, revealing the passionate madness behind films that have challenged, shocked, and inspired generations of underground artists.

John Waters sets the stage with an introduction celebrating the Kuchars' uncompromising vision. Here are the stories behind legendary works like Sins of the Fleshapoids, Hold Me While I'm Naked, and The Devil's Cleavage—films that exist at the intersection of camp, avant-garde, and pure cinematic rebellion.

Irreverent, hilarious, and deeply personal, Reflections from a Cinematic Cesspool is more than a book. It's a backstage pass to the most gloriously deranged minds in independent film history.
