Podcasts about william friedkin's cruising

On this episode of Daily Dead's official podcast, Heather Wixson is joined by film historian, journalist, and author Eugenio Ercolani to discuss filmmaker William Friedkin and his 1980 movie, Cruising (starring Al Pacino and based on Gerald Walker's novel of the same name), which is the subject of a new book that Eugenio co-wrote with Marcus Stiglegger in the Devil's Advocates horror cinema literature series. An aficionado of Italian cinema, Eugenio also talks about his other recent book, Darkening the Italian Screen: Interviews with Genre and Exploitation Directors Who Debuted in the 1950s and 1960s.

Protestors were lined outside of the movie theater on Feb. 7th, 1980 to picket the film that would incite violence against homosexuals, but after the scathing reviews by critics, audiences seemed to be indifferent. All the dangerous hype that the movie had during the filming and advertising all went away, but despite the film failing at the box office, it would still be linked to a notorious crime 7 months later and the fears of the gay community would come to fruition. Part 2 of 2

Few Films had an entire community protest it during filming like William Friedkin's Crusing.Red Flag after red flag wold go unnoticed by the filmmaking team as they would create one of the most controversial films of the 1980's. The gay community would claim the film promoted murdering gay people and associated and entire community with a subculture of the leather bars and sex clubs. Between all this actor insanity actor Al Pacino would tackle the lead role and almost ruin his A list status after the release of the film not due to the controversial nature but due to how awful the final product was and his performance would be seen by movie critics.

A highly controversial film, William Friedkin's Cruising was as confusing as it was confused. It's a slasher film, of sorts, set in the leather bar scene of the late '70s.

In this episode, Matthew Groves interviews Travis Mathews, co-director of (with James Franco) Interior Leather Bar, which depicts the making of a project to reconstruct or artistically respond to the supposed too explicit for MPAA 40 minutes of William Friedkin's Cruising. http://www.interiorleatherbar.com/
