Written, Directed, Produced by Samuel Fuller The cinematic art of the maverick independent was ahead of its time. With an original & unique vision Fuller crafted during the Hollywood studio era, bravely outspoken films which were politically/socially progressive and enjoyably each film is stylistically audacious.
Samuel Fuller bravely addressed topical and deeply sensitive historical and social issues rarely touched by the mainstream studios during the Cold-War era.
Incredibly entertaining and richly textured Fuller had a passion for historical research, composing each film with close attention to period detail. He also invented his own eccentric language drawn from personal broad life experiences, which gives his films that unique edge that spark of unexpected drama and emotional depth.
Startling and complex Fuller's films continue to draw contradictory opinions and reactions.
Personally as a non American, with a profound love of quality classic cinema, I have found the films from Samuel Fuller especially the period (49- 64) to be exceptional entertainment
Rarely mentioned Run Of The Arrow , China Gate and I love Forty Guns
The Naked Kiss (1964) is a Pulp Fiction extraordinaire , mesmerizing and boldly abstract, a film that is visually startling emotionally compelling and radically feminist.
A remarkable high point for Fuller, the film is a masterpiece of the early Sixties. Fuller the consummate cinematic stylist, a director for social justice here blends art film and B-noir to form an intense critique on the hypocrisy and social degeneracy that lurks just beneath the surface of establishment America.
