...clan. The people in his odd, alert comedies (Trust, Amateur, Flirt) inhabit some Long Island of the mind, where Amy Fisher-style melodrama rubs up against working-class angst. They are part strong, silent types, part East Coast neurotics. They revel in their own contradictions; one Hartley heroine, a nymphomaniac virgin, explains the anomaly by saying, "I'm choosy."

Bring into the confusion an overzealous...

...think so. We do not love exploitation films because we want to relive a past decade of innocence. Exploitation filmmakers have proved that creative, classic and socially relevant films can be made on modest budgets. These movies hit close to home. We are in our houses, and there are nymphomaniac cannibalistic freaks waiting to feast. This is real! This is myth! BROOK KING Pittsburgh...
