There are critics who think Russ Meyer was a genius. I've seen a handful of his many films, and thought they were total crap. Film appreciation is so
subjective,
Yea, I get it. Again, it's totally subjective. I like the old Blaxploitation films. (Especially "The Guy From Harlem". )
Meyers' films just don't do anything for me.
I actually love truly bad cinema. We have a collection of old sci-fi stuff that's horrible. Just awful, awful film making.
The Giant Claw and The Screaming Skull are so horrible, they're magnificent.
I can't really sit through a Meyer film, but I certainly appreciate the art of his view. Heh, the titles alone are worth it, even if there was no
film.
Thankfully, though, those films were made before silicon became typical... I cannot imagine the topheavy starlets if he made them now... or the
hashtag blow-back.
He was good at focusing on the grotesque... intentional or not.
