Gutter Auteur The Films Of Andy Milligan

Grindhouse Filmmaker Andy Milligan Has Been The Subject Of A Revealing Biography, And Boasts A Grassroots Fan Base, But His Remarkable Work Has Thus Far Received No Serious Critical Overview. Working Virtually Alone, On Infinitesimal Budgets, Often Using A 16mm Newsreel Camera, Milligan Crafted Some Of The Most Unique Melodramas Of The 1960s And 1970s. Often Mounted As Period Pieces, Using Costumes Sewn By The Filmmaker, Milligans Gritty, Bizarre Films Come Across As Inimitable Meldings Of The Avant-garde Theater Of Jean Genet, The Experimental Films Of Jack Smith, And The Random Cinema Verite Of A Lunatic With A Home Movie Camera.
