week 3 questions

Why was the Charles Theater important for the development of “underground film” in New York City?

The Charles simply provided a place for film to be screened without rules or censorship. The result was a mass of edgy underground films that drew all types of audiences. The Charles tried to cater to every walk of life, even old Ukranian people, so why not crazy weirdos?

What were some of the characteristics of “Baudelairean Cinema”?

films without inhibitions. almost, if not, exploitive. gross use of sex, violence, and other vulgarities

Try to approach these as rough drafts to exam responses. Be specific.
