the Cinema of Transgression

The Cinema of Transgression was a filmmaking movement in the 1980s and early 1990s that sought to challenge mainstream norms by intentionally presenting provocative, taboo, and often shocking content. It aimed to subvert traditional ideas of art, morality, and entertainment through raw, experimental, and confrontational films. This movement was closely associated with underground and countercultural artists who used their work to critique social issues and question authority, often blending horror, humor, and disturbing imagery to provoke strong reactions and inspire debate.
