Description

For film professionals and buffs, the term ""Kitchen Sink movies"" refers to those films that take severe right-angle turns at unexpected moments, where filmmakers borrow from across the artistic spectrum to create a wild, disorienting ride.

Throwing marketing reports and box-office projections to the wind, they conjure a whirl of ideas, of images, of themes or plots, that inexplicably come together despite conventional reason.

Almost always cult films, these movies rarely succeed in their first run.

Indeed, some of the very best remain unknown to mainstream audiences.

This volume provides in-depth examinations of 60 of these cultural oddities, from such disparate filmsLa morte en direct, The Final Programme, and Head to lesser-known independents like The Prodigy, Land of College Prophets, and Scrapbook.

By putting these unusual films into cultural context, this work promotes an under-appreciated but fascinating facet of moviemaking.
