- Summary:
- In this follow up to their 100 Cult Films, Ernest Mathijs and Xavier Mendik provide a guide to one hundred more incredible films from the history and present of cult cinema around the world, from the 1911 Italian silent Dante's Inferno to Jordan Peele's 2017 horror classic Get Out. Their richly-illustrated guide addresses the work of filmmakers including Stanley Kubrick, Paul Verhoeven, Julien Temple, Ana Lily Amirpour, Lizzie Borden, Rob Reiner and John Carpenter, and movies from countries ranging from Iran to Peru, South Korea to Sweden, Japan to the USA. The films represent genres including sci-fi, romance, horror, vampire, comedy and action, and in their subject matter and through the debates (and sometimes controversies) that surrounds them raise issues about identity, home, belonging, exoticism, censorship and what it means to be 'weird'. By presenting 100 films that confirm and interrogate the notion of what makes a film a 'cult film', 100 Cult Films Redux reinvigorates the debate about cult cinema while affirming its foundations in today's volatile and vibrant cultural climate.
