Publisher Synopsis
'In the present media moment, sexual difference and deviance are respectively celebrated and vilified like never before. This volume, appearing at such a critical juncture with a laudable international and historical purview, approaches its noisy subject soberly and intelligently.' - Mattias Frey, University of Kent; author of Extreme Cinema: The Transgressive Rhetoric of Today's Art Film Culture, 'Fearless, unnerving and provocative, Tainted Love is every cinephile's dream guide to the perverse politics of some of the most transgressive films ever made.' - I.
