For week 3 of our Six Degrees of Kill Bill series, we're headed to Sweden to discuss an exploitation classic that Quentin Tarantino called "the roughest revenge film ever made!"
Released in the U.S. as THEY CALL HER ONE EYE, Bo. A. Vibenius's THRILLER — A CRUEL PICTURE and its star Christina Lindberg laid the inspiration for Daryl Hannah's character in KILL BILL.
In this episode of the podcast, we'll discuss the long, long history of Swedish exploitation films, going all the way back to the beginning of the film industry itself, through the films of Igmar Bergman (!) and into the 1970s, the golden age of exploitation cinema.
We're joined on this discussion by our good friend DJ Wilson, still the only guy we know with a Christina Lindberg tattoo!
We'd also like to give a huge thanks to writer Daniel Ekeroth's incredible book Swedish Sensasionsfilms, which served as an invaluable guide to the history of Swedish exploitation films.
