US-American combat cameraman, self-made millionaire and grand master of the atomic bosom. An iconoclastic filmmaker, a headstrong genre pioneer. From nudie cuties to raw gangster drama all the way to sexploitation and satire, all without resorting to pornography. The iconography of the posters takes us along on a journey through the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s. Among others, John Waters and Quentin Tarantino revere Russ Meyer as one of their idols.
