Often defined as "cult" and "exploitation" or "alternative" and "independent," the American underground retains separate strategies of production and exhibition from the cinematic mainstream, while its sexual and cinematic representations differ from the traditionally conservative structures of the Hollywood system. Underground U.S.A. offers a fascinating overview of this area of maverick moviemaking by considering the links between the experimental and exploitative traditions of the American underground.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USContributor: Xavier Mendik (Edited by), Steven Jay Schneider (Edited by), Lloyd Kaufman (Foreword by)Author: Xavier MendikGenre: Films & TVRelease Year: 2003 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
