Monsterpiece is a term coined by American film critic Manny Farber in such texts as the review of Carol Reed’s The Third Man (1948):
- "But it bears the usual foreign trademarks (pretentious camera, motorless design, self-conscious involvement with balloon-hawker, prostitute, porter, belly dancer, tramp) overelaborated to the point of being a monsterpiece." --via Filmjourney.org[1]
