Description: "Shocking Cinema of the 70s casts a transnational net to focus on films from a variety of countries, and from the marginal to the mainstream, which, by tackling various 'difficult' subjects, have proved to be controversial in one way or another. Julian Petley and Xavier Mendik assess how the production values, narrative features and critical receptions of these 'controversial' films can be linked to the wider historical and social forces that were dominant during this decade and continue to resonate in our current historical moment"
