Incredibly Strange Films is a functional guide to important territory neglected by the film-criticism establishment, spotlighting unhailed directors -- Hershell Gordon Lewis, Russ Meyer, Larry Cohen, Ray Dennis Steckler, Ted V. Mikels and others -- who have been critically consigned to the ghettos of gore and sexploitation films. In-depth interviews focus on philosophy while anecdotes entertain as well as illuminate theory. The guide includes biographies, genre overviews, filmographies, bibliography, quotations, an A-Z of film personalities, lists of recommended films, sources, index, as well as 172 photos.
Young Playthings is an obscure masterpiece relegated by its softcore format to late-night viewing on cable TV's "Escapade" or the "Playboy" channel. Ironically deceptive, the titillating title lures the audience with the prospect of a libidinous romp. But this uniques sex film penetrates other realms. Seducing the mind as well as the senses, it conforms externally, yet transcends the limitations of its genre. Flesh fondling is not the supreme concern. Rather, sexual experimentation is presented as healthy and indispensable to the underlying goal, which is the rejection of conformist morès, and liberation from socially conditioned sexual attitudes. (from essay by Colette Coleman)
