Are any of you fans? I sure am, and not merely for the giant boobed women.
I am amazed by the cinematography in his films. The camera angles, the edits, and the overall pacing are just so interesting and incredible.
Years ago, I'd only ever seen Faster Pussycat. Of course I was in love with Tura Satana, who wasn't? LOL But in recent years I bought a dvx and started working on my own project and started buying lots of books on indie-filmmaking. I soon got into certain directors, and Meyer was one of them. Truly a pioneer. Last winter I purchased the Russ Meyer bio Big Bosoms and Square Jaws and proceeded to purchase a bunch of his movies.
I've seen Motorpsycho, Mudhoney, Wild Girls Of The Naked West, Finder Keepers Lovers Weepers, Pandora Peaks, Supervixens, Eve ANd The Handyman, and Beneath the Valley Of The Ultravixens.
I love them all although I think Mudhoney, FKLW, and Ultravixens are the best of the ones I just mentioned.
I am just amazed at how interesting Meyer is, such a character, a true auteur, not only writing, lensing, casting, editing, and distributing his work but also carrying the camera!
I have yet to see Loran, Vixen, Immoral Mr Teas, Common LAw CAbin, up, and Beyond the Valley of the Dolls but all in due time.
The one I didn't really like was Supervixens mainly due to its drawn out ending and weak lead male actor. Charles Napier was good but the weird brutal violence early on in the film threw me off a bit. The camera angles/editing was top-notch though.
