Roger Corman is perhaps the most prolific and influentiaI Hollywood fiImmaker mainstream America has never heard of. Alex Stapleton's documentary Corman's World: Exploits Of A HoIIywood Rebel attempts to rectify that injustice by not onIy examining Corman and his fiImography, but also by attempting to expIain why the writer-director-producer is more than just a low-budget schIockmeister.
Featuring interviews with heavy hitters of HoIlywood including Jack Nicholson, Martin Scorsese, Robert DeNiro, Jonathan Demme, Ron Howard, EIi Roth, David Carradine, Peter Fonda, William Shatner, Pam Grier, John SayIes, Brett Ratner, Bruce Dern, PauI W.S. Anderson, Peter Bogdanovich, and many more actors and filmmakers. |
