Introduction to Transgressive Cinema

**Transgressive films** are a genre of cinema that push boundaries, challenge societal norms, and confront taboo subjects in a way that is provocative, shocking, and often controversial. These films aim to explore the darker or more uncomfortable aspects of human nature, society, and culture, often questioning established values, morals, and conventions.
