  • Jesús Franco – Mil sexos tiene la noche AKA Night Has a Thousand Desires (1984)

    1981-1990Film NoirHorrorJesus FrancoSpain

    In this surreal and sensuous mystery/noir, Lina Romay (The Female Vampire, Lorna the Exorcist) plays Irina, a partner in a male-female mind reading act. At night she experiences vivid and charged dreams which end in murder. It seems that the people whose minds she reads are being killed off one by one. In the 1980s, after the death of the Spanish dictator, Jess Franco returned to his native country and made a series of films in which he was given almost total freedom. Night Has A Thousand Desires is one of the most artistically successful of these films. It’s filled with familiar Franco touches – artful cinematography, atmospheric locations, naked women, an avant garde soundtrack – and it features one of Lina Romay’s most committed performances.Read More »

  • Jesús Franco – Midnight Party AKA Heisse Berührungen (1976)

    1971-1980BelgiumCrimeEroticaJesus Franco

    Pierre-Alexandre Buisson from IMDb writes:
    It all begins with Lina Romay dancing in chromed pants on a stage in some cheap bar. She hooks two playboys and ends up with an invitation to their midnight orgy. Her communist rock star bearded lover shows up in her dressing room and starts shouting slogans. Her husband pays her a visit. And then she talks directly to the camera, explaining to the viewer she has to get dressed for the party.

    Definitly one of Franco’s numbest and most chaotic features where he plays a sadistic wooden-legged private eye with his trademark black sunglasses. You can see all you want from Romay, who spends most of the movie running around naked. The plot doesn’t seem to be very important and the jokes fly low. If you like Franco you’ll laugh to death watching this one but if you’re a newcomer, you may wonder where the hell can we get some drugs as effective as the ones they used to write this.Read More »

  • Jesús Franco – Camino solitario (1984)

    Jesus Franco1981-1990EroticaFilm NoirSpain

    SYNOPSIS:
    The life of a private eye in Spain is very different from the one surrounded by blondes and booze that we see in movies. Especially if the detective in the case is our hero Alfredo Pereira, who divides his time between his more or less scandalous cases in the most luxurious and international corner of the Costa del Sol, and his unsual private life. His private life is called Flavia, and it must be admitted she is a blonde, with huge blue eyes. The thing is, she is seven years old and the daughter of our detective, who was given custody of her when he divorced his wife. A new case puts Pereira in contact with a beautiful woman, Eva Radeck, the wife of a foreign financier. Their story is going to perhaps take up too much of Alfredo Pereira’s time as the investigation takes on increasingly sombre tints of hatred, vengeance and death. Pereira, who is only tough on the outside, gets caught in the web spun by the seductive Eva and becomes an innocent party in the case, while continuing to be Flavia’s soft-hearted daddy. Events come to a head with the vicious murder of Eva.Read More »
