bei Brightlights Film: "Adamson's an endearingly clueless auteur stolidly
mining every cultural byway of his era, from the perils of drugs to 'social
menaces' like biker gangs and feminism."
James Broughton
(1913-1999)
Broughton is simply too individual for categorization, even when the
evidence for labeling him this or that is overwhelming. But the lure of labels
is strong, so for the sake of shorthand, and with apologies to Broughton,
let us call him poet, avant-garde film artist, and Dionysian gay sage.

Kimi
Ki-young (1919-1998)
B-Movie-König des koreanischen Films.
Mehr
dazu bei Brightlights Film: "In a just world — or one with better
international film distribution — Korean auteur Kim Ki-young would be
ranked in the upper tier of the B-movie pantheon with Sam Fuller or Roger
Corman, whose films recall Kim's in their bracing blend of artistry and
sleaze."
George
und Mike Kuchar (*1942)
Devotees of comic books, pornography, and commercial Hollywood cinema,
George and Mike tried to replicate on film what they saw in their working-class
lives--or filter it through their own gay sensibilities--using their 8mm
camera and whatever locations, props, friends, and families were available.
Gregory La Cava
Einer der unbekanntesten unter den klassischen Hollywood-Regisseuren.

José
Mojica Marins (*1929)
In seinen von Katholizismus und vulgärer Nietzsche-Lektüre
gezeichneten Filmen entwickelte er die Figur des zylindertragenden
Totengräbers Zé do Caixáo (international: Coffin Joe).
Der ist ein Ketzer aus Passion und erfüllt in Brasilien bis heute die
Funktion des „Schwarzen Manns“, mit dem Kindern von ihren Eltern
maßregelnd gedroht wird. Bis heute sind seine oft bizarr-surrealistischen
Grusel-, Horror- und Drogenfilme nur schwer aufzutreiben. Ausführliches

Magazins Splatting

Filmografie.
