By Mattias Frey · Rutgers University Press · Film and Media Studies series · 2016 · paperback · 298 pp · ISBN 978-0-8135-7649-7 About the Book From Shortbus and Shame to Oldboy and Irreversible, art-house films that push the limits of on-screen sex and violence regularly make international headlines, and critics often hail their directors — Michael Haneke, Lars von Trier — as heirs to a tradition of transgressive art. In Extreme Cinema, film scholar Mattias Frey offers a different view: these films are also calculated products, engineered for notoriety in a competitive global marketplace. Drawing on the discourses of critics, distributors, and filmmakers — and on original interviews with festival programmers and niche distributors — Frey shows how "taboo-breaking" art cinema distinguishes itself from horror, pornography, and Hollywood while simultaneously hyping its provocations, operating all the while within a careful set of codes and conventions. A lively, clear-eyed look at the industry behind the outrage. Worth Knowing Extreme Cinema received an honorable mention for the 2017 Best Monograph Award from the British Association of Film, Television and Screen Studies (BAFTSS). Mattias Frey edits the journal Film Studies and has written widely on film criticism, including The Permanent Crisis of Film Criticism. Selling Transgression Shock as a marketing strategy, examined.
