Cinema Perverso - the Wonderful and Twisted World of Railroad Cinemas
Movie · Documentary

After WW2, many of Germany’s train stations were destroyed and had to be rebuilt; cinemas were drawn into the plans as a canny way of financing the rebuilding work. Thus the strange world of railway cinema was born: a fantastic place for movies that would never make it anywhere else. The “Bahnhofskino” was the German answer to the American grindhouse cinema. Featured by Jörg Buttgereit and Uwe Boll, “Cinema Perverso” takes you on an entertaining and unique trip into this terra incognita of modern film history and dives deep into German exploitation cinema, with strange masterpieces like the Schlager-softporn film “Lovecamp” or “Machoman”, a bizarre martial arts film shot in Nuremberg.
