Our Bloody Obsession

New season is HEREEEEE! And this time host Zoë Rose Smith will be exploring films that fall into the New French Extremity category. But that doesn't mean they're all slathered in blood... Some are just downright bizaree.

To kick off the season Zoë is joined by none other than Alex West, author of 'Films of the New French Extremity: Visceral Horror and National Identity'. West talks about what this particular waves of films was, the reason behind them and what constitutes as a NFE film.
