This collection delves into a diverse range of 1970s films from various countries, encompassing both the marginal and mainstream realms. By addressing a multitude of challenging subjects, these films have sparked controversy in various ways. Rather than presenting an uncritical celebration of shocking and subversive elements, the aim is to delve into the reasons behind the production of films that elicited such reactions among certain audiences. The collection encompasses a wide spectrum of films, including those that shocked conventionally minded individuals, such as hard-core pornography, as well as those that outraged liberal perspectives, such as Death Wish and Dirty Harry.
Rather than solely critiquing these controversial films, the book also seeks to examine the interconnectedness of their production values, narrative aspects, and critical receptions with the broader historical and social forces that prevailed during the 1970s. Furthermore, it explores how these films continue to resonate in our contemporary historical context, characterized by a multitude of shocks and surprises.
By exploring these films, the collection offers valuable insights into the complexities of the 1970s, shedding light on the social, cultural, and political dynamics of the era. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of cinema to provoke, challenge, and inspire, and encourages us to consider the impact of these films on our understanding of the past and the present.
