Fascism on a Thread: The Strange Story of Nazi Exploitation Cinema (2019)

 Documentary on one of the odder exploitation sub genera's, one that reached its peak of production and popularity in the mid to late 70's. Many of these films were Italian made. I'd actually only seen one before, 'Women's Camp 119', but if your going to see one that is one that hits most of the major clichés and tropes of the genera. Also it was directed by Bruno Mattei, so double Italian exploitations film points. Doc has some neat stories, interesting information and a decent enough group of talking heads. ** 

Some films featured: Kapo, The Dammed, The Night Porter, Women's Camp 119, the Ilsa movies, Cabaret, Salo, Salon Kitty, and The Beast in Heat.
