Savage Cinema Sam Peckinpah and the Rise of the Ultraviolent Movie
Author: Stephen Prince
Peckinpah's "The Wild Bunch" and "Straw Dogs" are classics of the violent and opened the door to a fresh disturbing trend in modern film-making. This text is a fundamental reappraisal of Peckinpah's radical, humanistic film-making, revealing him as serious artist whose work was tied to the social and political upheavals of the American 1960s.
