Our take
Concentrating on handful of crossover successes—made between 1970 and 1977—this primer is a thought-provoking take on what makes a cult classic. Featuring interviews with key figures of all-things alternative and much-maligned: Alejandro Jodorowksy, George A. Romero, John Waters, and David Lynch.
