Description

Paul Bartel: A Life and Films Director Paul Bartel was known for making films that challenged audience expectations with humour. His movies often explored themes of murder, greed, and transgressive sex, such as Death Race 2000 (1975), Eating Raoul (1982) and Scenes from the Class Struggle in Beverly Hills (1989). This book examines Bartel's life and work, tracing his emergence as an independent auteur whose films were praised by Hollywood luminaries. Bartel's experiences as a gay man are also explored in this study. The book includes interviews with people who knew him, such as Roger Corman, Joe Dante and John Waters, alongside critical analysis of each film. A detailed look at Bartel's life and work provides insight into his unique approach to storytelling and the impact he had on American culture. This first book-length study of Paul Bartel offers a comprehensive understanding of his life and films, shedding light on his independent auteur status and the significance of his work in Hollywood.
