Larry Cohen: The Stuff of Gods and Monsters traces the extraordinary career of the legendary writer/producer/director responsible for such cult and classic films as Black Caesar, It’s Alive, God Told Me To, The Private Files of J. Edgar Hoover, Q - The Winged Serpent, The Stuff, Maniac Cop, and Phone Booth. Creator of some of the most diverse and thematically rich genre films that have been made in American independent cinema, Cohen’s oeuvre has embraced horror, science fiction, thrillers, Westerns, comedies, the biographical film, and blaxploitation gangster movies. At turns provocative, disturbing, and humorous, his distinctly personal works in film, television, and theater are distinguished by their ferocious intelligence, biting satire, and powerful emotionalism. Over the course of 28 chapters, this in-depth career-length interview is an entertaining, enlightening, and gripping account of the singular career of a true American original. 'For those of us who love the works of Larry Cohen, this is the most revealing and informative material ever published about him. And if by some chance you don’t know about Larry’s remarkable career, take this opportunity to learn how one maverick writer/director/producer has been able to survive and flourish in the ever changing madhouse of show biz.'- Joe Dante, director of The Howling, Gremlins and The ’Burbs

    Acercarse al mundo de un artista es una tarea siempre difícil, porque conlleva en sí misma la condena a la imposibilidad de explicar qué lo hace único, original y valioso. Esto es más arduo si el artista está vivo, en plena etapa productiva. Y es todavía más espinoso si sólo lo conocemos por sus obras y estas son películas, es decir: obras donde el control absoluto es imposible...
