Reflections from a Cinematic Cesspool

A rollicking picaresque memoir on moviemaking from the titans of underground trash cinema.

In the underbelly of underground cinema, the Kuchar brothers have long been the prophets of experimental filmmaking. Reflections from a Cinematic Cesspool is a raucous journey through the minds of these two transcendent artists.

The works of George and Mike Kuchar defy every convention of filmmaking. Reflections from a Cinematic Cesspool is their manifesto and their memoir, revealing the passionate madness behind films that challenge, shock, and inspire generations of underground artists and serve as a manual to all filmmaking freaks. John Waters sets the stage with his introduction celebrating the Kuchars' uncompromising vision. Here are the stories and secrets behind legendary works like Sins of the Fleshapoids, Hold Me While I'm Naked, and The Devil's Cleavage.

Irreverent, hilarious, and deeply personal, Reflections from a Cinematic Cesspool is a direct feed to the most gloriously deranged minds in independent film history.
