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 profusely illustrated early '60s "Mondo-sexy"
filmography, with rare photos, press-ads, posters, covers,
reviews.
The eroticism of the strip-tease and its alluring strippers
(Dodo d'Hambourg, Rita Renoir, Lili Niagara, Loulou Santiago,
Poupée La Rose, Carole Riva...), the music-hall, other
assorted attractions and bizarre curiosities, from the seminal
Alessandro Blasetti's Europa di Notte to Sexy Proibitissimo,
from Le Dolci Notti to Totò Sexy, from Mondo Sexy di
Notte to Notti Nude...

and the '70s, such as Mondo Cane by Gualtiero Jacopetti, Mondo
Infame and Mondo Balordo by Roberto Bianchi Montero...
