One largely forgotten chapter of his life, however, is his late-sixties, headlong, kamikaze-style plunge into making experimental films. These rough-hewn, self-financed, largely improvised metafictions are works of madness and bravado, all starring Mailer himself and with technical assistance from cinema verité trailblazers D. A. Pennebaker and Richard Leacock. The fullest realization of his directorial efforts is the blustering, brawling Maidstone, a shocking sign of the political times in which Mailer plays a filmmaker and presidential candidate who may be the target of an assassination attempt. Along with Mailer’s other films of the period—Wild 90 and Beyond the Law—it shows an uncompromising artist in thrall to both himself and a new medium. Two-DVD Box Set Includes: Maidstone Over a booze-fueled, increasingly hectic four-day shoot in the Hamptons, Norman Mailer and his cast and crew spontaneously unloaded onto film this lurid and loony chronicle of U.S. presidential candidate and filmmaker Norman T. Kingsley debating and attacking his hangers-on and enemies. This gonzo narrative, “an inkblot test of Mailer’s own subconscious” (Time), becomes something like a documentary on its own making when costar Rip Torn breaks the fourth wall in one of cinema’s most alarming on-screen outbursts. 1970 105 minutes Color Monaural 1.33:1 aspect ratio Wild 90 Norman Mailer’s first filmmaking effort stars the director and his two longtime creative collaborators Buzz Farber and Mickey Knox as a trio of gangsters holed up in a ramshackle New York apartment, drinking, braying, and fighting. Mailer once claimed he viewed making movies as “free psychoanalysis,” and this bristly, stripped-down experiment in improvisation shows a filmmaker baring himself for all to see. 1967 81 minutes Black & White Monaural 1.33:1 aspect ratio Beyond the Law Norman Mailer’s belief that we’re all either police or criminals at heart was the impetus for his second film, which takes place over the course of one feverish night in a Manhattan police precinct and neighboring bar. The rough texture of the black-and-white stock and the intense depiction of the police lineup process lend the film a rugged, journalistic feel. In addition to Mailer, who casts himself as tough-guy Irish cop Francis Xavier Pope, Beyond the Law features Rip Torn and George Plimpton. 1968 84 minutes Black & White Monaural 1.33:1 aspect ratio ## Images ![Eclipse Series 35: Maidstone and Other Films by Norman Mailer (Maidstone / Wild 90 / Beyond the Law) (The Criterion Collection) [DVD] - Image 1](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41yQsKJsIAL.jpg) ![Eclipse Series 35: Maidstone and Other Films by Norman Mailer (Maidstone / Wild 90 / Beyond the Law) (The Criterion Collection) [DVD] - Image 2](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41lO32%2BeU1L.jpg) ![Eclipse Series 35: Maidstone and Other Films by Norman Mailer (Maidstone / Wild 90 / Beyond the Law) (The Criterion Collection) [DVD] - Image 3](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/417jvl9JTCL.jpg) ![Eclipse Series 35: Maidstone and Other Films by Norman Mailer (Maidstone / Wild 90 / Beyond the Law) (The Criterion Collection) [DVD] - Image 4](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41TzScjMowL.jpg) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/14288224-eclipse-series-35-maidstone-and-other-films-by-norman-mailer](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/14288224-eclipse-series-35-maidstone-and-other-films-by-norman-mailer) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
