SHOCKING CINEMA OF THE 70S. Eds. Xavier Mendik and Julian Petley. Bloomsbury Academic, 2022. 326 pp. £76.50/$95 hardback

 

Notes

1 In their introduction, Mendik and Petley outline that this book originated as a second edition of the 2002 tome, with the original essays reprinted alongside some new entries. However, due to many of the films covered in the original having since been subject to wider scholarship and reassessment which renders them “no longer particularly shocking or marginal,” and cult scholarship having since grown broader and more international in its focus in the last two decades, the decision was made instead to produce a wholly new body of work (1–2).
