Rodriguez: Master Exploitation Cinema and Unusual Path in Hollywood

Robert is a name associated with cheeky and stylish cinema. This Mexican-American director, writer and producer was able to blow up Hollywood with his extraordinary ideas and experiments with genres. Let's talk about his exciting biography and impact on world cinema.
