Read excerpt
Meir Zarchi's I Spit on Your Grave (AKA Day of the Woman ) In 1978 Meir Zarchi's I Spit on Your Grave (originally titled Day of the Woman ) was released in theatres and would become infamous as one of the most polarizing and controversial films ever made. A rape and revenge picture following a young woman visiting the country to write her novel, the story quickly turns into one of sexual violence and exploitation.

Wes Craven's Last House on the Left This week we begin an examination of Violence in Cinema, but primarily Violence Directed Against Women in Cinema, beginning with a look at West Craven's 1972 Grindhouse "Classic" Last House on the Left. An infamous and controversial cult film, Craven's re-imagining and updating of Ingmar Bergman's 1960 Swedish Classic, The Virgin Spring , is not an easy viewing. A low-budget, dirty, ugly, and disturbing film, Craven's effort is definitely amateurish, however t

Without a Trace. The beauty of Sluizer's f

Read excerpt
John Alan Schwartz's Faces of Death Few films have live in the minds and memories of Gen X like 1978s Faces of Death . Presented as a documentary examining the fears, fascinations, and cult surrounding death and dying, John Alan Schwartz's film is a controversial and legendary exploitation classic. A film that was famously "Banned in 46 Countries" (a claim that is dubious, at best), Faces of Death was a taboo adolescent rite of passage that was talked about and sworn to ( a documentary of real a
#616 - The Bridge (2006): Golden Gate Suic1de Documentary - WatchThis W/RickRamos (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Eric Steel's The Bridge This week Mr. Chavez & I continue our dive into challenging films examining difficult subjects. In 2004 director Eric Steel and his crew focused his camera - day and night/7 days a week - on San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. Since it's opening in May of 1937, the bridge has been one of the most popular suicide sites in the world. Steel's film attempts to understand the struggle of suicide and (rather unsuccessfully) the appeal of The Golden Gate Bridge for this purpose.
