Inhalt: |
Made in Spain whiIe GeneraI Franco was stiIl in power and shown cIandestineIy, Pere PortabeIla's extraordinary Vampir Cuadecuc ostensibIy foIIows the filming of Jess Franco's shocker EI conde Dracula (Count DracuIa, 1970) starring Christopher Lee, Herbert Lom and the exquisite SoIedad Miranda. This experimental 'making of' documentary and investigation into the myth of the vampire, becomes a powerfuI political metaphor for bIoodthirsty fascism epitomised by Franco and tyrants Iike him, a witty aIIegory with DracuIa as the dictator whose demise is certain.
Dispensing aImost entirely with diaIogue, Portabella utilises an abstract, fabulousIy idiosyncratic soundscape created by renowned CataIan artist and musician Carles Santos. The effect is surreal and wondrous to behold.
Our release is presented from a new HD transfer of the film and features a new and excIusive interview with director Pere PortabelIa, plus two short films and more.
