Product description
In this follow up to their original 100 Cult Films volume, Ernest Mathijs and Xavier Mendik provide a guide to one hundred more incredible films, from the 1911 Italian silent Dante's Inferno to Ti West's horror trilogy X, Pearl (2022) and MaXXXine (2024).
This richly illustrated guide addresses the work of filmmakers including Stanley Kubrick, Paul Verhoeven, Ana Lily Amirpour, Stephanie Rothman, Rob Reiner and Dario Argento, with movies hailing from Iran to Brazil, South Korea to Sweden, Japan to the USA, and from the high North to the Australian outback. 100 Cult Films: The Sequel presents an alchemy of genres including science-fiction, romance, horror, musical, vampire, comedy and action, and through the debates and controversies that surround them raises issues about identity, home, belonging, exoticism, censorship, and what it means to be truly 'weird'.
By presenting 100 films that confirm and interrogate the notion of what makes a film a ‘cult film’, 100 Cult Films: The Sequel reignites the conversation about cult cinema while affirming its foundations in today’s volatile and vibrant cultural climate.
