Review Quote "This is the first important study of its kind, and it is both perspicacious and unflinching in examining the provocative issues raised by such directors as Lars von Trier and Gaspar Noe with their graphic portrayals of sex and violence. Critical methods and the contentious debates regarding the expression of sexuality are both handled by the contributors with great rigour." -- Barry Forshaw, Crimetime Promotional "Headline" An exploration into the darkest side of cinema Description for Reader Explosive images of sex and violence in films by directors such as Catherine Breillat, Gaspar No Description for Sales People Explosive images of sex and violence characterise what has come to be known as the new extremism in contemporary European cinema.
