This incendiary group of films is united by the theme of transgression. Ranging from the cost of war to stealing a playgirl from your mother, the transgressions of these films range from the minor to the catastrophic.
This group shows that breaking the rules can be both dangerous and liberating. Exploring war, corporate greed, crime and adolescence, these films prove to be above all thought provoking!
