KILL! KILL! (US, Russ Meyer, 1966) Summary: "Russ Meyer's Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! was a box-office failure on its release in 1965. It has since been embraced by art-house audiences and referenced in countless films, television series, and songs. A riot of styles and story cliche´s lifted from biker, juvenile delinquency, and beach party movies, the film has the coherence of a dream and the improvisatory daring of a jazz solo. This book considers the production and critical reception of the film, its place within the culture of the 1960s, its representations of gender and sexuality, and the specific ways it meets cult film criteria." -- BOOK BACK COVERNotes: Formerly CIP; Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9780231167390Contents: -- acknowledgments -- Introduction: Russ Meyer and Me -- 1 The Pussycats Gear Up -- 2 The Pussycats Find Their Audience -- 3 Seeing America First -- 4 Pussycats and Satyrs -- 5 A Velvet Glove Cast in Iron -- notes -- bibliography -- index --
