Why I made MIDNIGHT MOVIES: FROM THE MARGIN TO THE MAINSTREAM Stuart Samuels, Director\/ Producer\/Writer As Roger Ebert says in MIDNIGHT MOVIES, \"sometime in the 60's people became cynical and ironic...and \"Midnight Movies\" were the opening wedge in the birth of irony.\" That is what attracted me to these films in the first place. When between 1970 and 1977 a small cluster of films pushed the boundaries of \"bad taste,\" re-wrote the rules for social and sexual \"taboos.\" What made them unique, was the fact that you could only see them at midnight., In 1981, I wrote a book on this cinematic phenomena, now, 25 years later, I have made it into a documentary. Although my medium is different--the message is the same. These handful of low budget, intensely personal visions, almost handmade films transformed the way we make and watch movies.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MVD Visual","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45254355681480,"sku":"WNRD2615","price":18.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/8486\/3688\/files\/midnightmoviesdvd.jpg?v=1794433903","url":"https:\/\/videomatica.com\/es\/products\/midnight-movies-from-the-margin-to-the-mainstream-dvd","provider":"Videomatica Ltd (since 1983)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
