BIZARRE SINEMA! COLLECTION
As shown by the title, created by uniting two words, that is
"sin" and "cinema", this collection is a
forum for the most "controversial" and "transgressive"
topics (such as sex and horror) and the most singular and "bizarre"
directors (Russ Meyer, Jesus Franco, Mario Bava, Renato Polselli)
in movie history.
These beautifully illustrated essays include some very rare
iconographic material. Featuring hundreds of photos, posters
and cover reproductions.
A whimsical, fully illustrated guide, in which sword &
sandals (from The Giant of Metropolis to Goliath and the Vampires),
horror (from Atom Age Vampire to The Embalmer), spy-movies
(from Un tango dalla Russia to Lucky the Inscrutable), the
Fumetti Neri (Diabolik, Kriminal, Satanik, Sadik), the Giallos
(from Blood and Black Lace to Col cuore in gola), the superheroes
(from Superargo to Argoman),western (from Yankee to Starblack),
Fellini (The Temptation of dr. Antonio, Satyricon), sexy adventures
(from Isabella-Miss Stiletto to Zenabel), cartoons (from Vip

della Valle d'Argento to Gringo), esoteric fantasy (from Balsamus
to The Devil Witch), co-exist in an original, incredible pop
gallery, full of notes.
Last but not least, the sadistic-erotic Cineromanzo featuring

Baron von Nütter and a cult comic strip sequence devoted
to the Nerosexy heroes and heroines.
