  The films of the New French Extremity have been reviled by critics but adored by fans and filmmakers. Known for graphically brutal depictions of sex and violence, the sub-genre emerged from the French art-house scene in the late 1990s and became a cult phenomenon. This book provides an in-depth study of New French Extremity.
