You've heard of Hollywood, a town of tinsel and glamour, the town of Paramount, Columbia and MGM.  But there is another Hollywood, a place where maverick independent EXPLOITATION FILMMAKERS went toe to toe with the big guys and came out on top! "SCHLOCK! THE SECRET HISTORY OF AMERICAN MOVIES" takes you behind the scenes with the legendary EXPLOITATION and SEXPLOITATION filmmakers of those golden "DRIVE-IN" MOVIE days.  It's sexy!  It's strange!  And every word is true! (Director of the film Ray Greene) (oficjalny tekst dystrybutora)

angielski This documentary very well retraces the development of the exploitation and trash side of American cinema. Particularly valuable are the interviews with the greats of the category, such as Doris Wishman and Samuel Z. Arkoff, who did not live to see the boom of renewed interest in their films in the new millennium. Furthermore, in comparison with today’s fan-pleasing documentaries, Schlock! is characterised by its healthy detachment, humour and effort to address its subject from every possible angle. Therefore, there is not only emphasis on the almost artistic qualities of the obscure gem Carnival of Souls, but also the relativisation of poetic interpretations and, conversely, an exploration of the systematic and commercial side of the entire trash segment.
