Russ Meyer Rules!

A declaration of love for Russ Meyer’s epic!

https://anartapart.substack.com/p/faster-pussycat

”“Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!” remains a delightful beacon because it successfully embodies the fundamental contradictions of American culture itself: the simultaneous fear and fascination with female power, the love-hate relationship with violence, the complex negotiations between high and low culture. It remains a perfect artifact of its time while somehow transcending it, speaking to each generation in its own language.”
