70’s Cinema | The Bedlam Files

Ruggero Deodato: 1939-2022

My thoughts on the recently deceased director of CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST

This, the world’s “First Electric Western,” hails from 1971

The very definition of a Cult Film: odd, esoteric and appreciated by only a select few

The debut feature by the Austrian performance artist Valie Export was this avant-garde take on INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS

Passionate and entertaining writing on cinema by the one and only Quentin Tarantino

The release of BLONDE caps a long line of films about the late Norma Jeane Baker, a.k.a. Marilyn Monroe

Here’s the most outrageous entry in the 1970s revisionist western craze

I feel that had these scripts been filmed the face of cinema may well have been transformed irrevocably

The undoubted magnum opus of Italy’s Sergio Martino, and possibly the most ambitious entry in the Italian cannibal movie cycle

A film that was quite controversial upon its initial release in 1971 and remains a topic of enormous contention
