Summary
  1. Jesús Franco (aka Jess Franco) is an iconic figure in world cinema. for devotees of the weird and sado-erotic he was a conematic magician, creating unique and disturbing dream-worlds on the cheapest of budgets. A passionate believer in artistic and sexual freedom, he constantly pushed at the boundaries of censorship during an extraordinary career spanning seven decades. Franco's delerious spontaneity turned the basics of popular cinema - sex and violence - into an avant-garde whirl of senations. Films like Barbed Wire Dolls, Shining Sex, and Gemidos de placer throw out the rulebook and reinvent genre cinema, while even his weakest efforts exude something strange and wild amid the chaos. Meanwhile, multiple variants of his films, made for different countries, turn the Franco experience into a dizzying hall of mirrors, entrancing for the aficionado but confusing for beginners - until now. -- Back cover.
