DATES AND TITLES In order to avoid confusion I've chosen to use shooting dates instead of release dates when referring to Jess Franco's films . For instance, Gritos en la noche aka The Awfal Dr. Orlof was shot in October and November 1961: it will therefore be referred to in the text as The Awfal Dr. Orlof (1961) even though it was first released in cinemas in 1962. Most reference sources would opt for the release date, and usually it would make more sense, but Franco's career is unusual; if a man makes ten films in a year, some of which are patched together over two or three shoots, several months apart, what can be done to preserve the proper sequence? Add to this a situation where some films sit on the shelf for three or more years waiting to be released, and you can see how things can get messy. (For an example of the pitfalls, take a look at Franco's current IMDb entry: two films that were shot back to back in 1973, Kiss Me Killer and Tender and Perverse Emanuelle, are separated in the filmography by no less than 37 film entries, simply because Kiss Me Killer's only confirmed cinema release happened to be in 1977 !) To avoid such calamitous misunderstandings and to keep the films in consecutive order, it is therefore better to use shooting dates for orientation. In cases where the shooting was spread out over time (as in the case of Female Vampire, begun in the summer of 1973 but finished in the spring of 1974) I have used the earlier date. Whilst this throws Murderous Passions out of step with other reference sources, I hope that the internal consistency of my decision will assuage inconvenience and reduce ambiguity. Titles are another problematic area. Throughout the text I use the best known English language title where there is one (usually the DVD or Blu-ray title, or failing that the British cinema release). Where there's no English-language version at all I've gone for the original foreign language title, prioritising the chief financial backer in the case of international co- productions. In some cases anomalies create exceptions: for instance, it seems pedantic and tedious to refer to Sax Rohmer's "The Blood of Fu Manchu" (the correct onscreen title) when The Blood of Fu Manchu is easier on the eye and less cumbersome. Similarly, Vampyros Lesbos - Erbin des Dracula has entered circulation as Vampyros Lesbos, a shortened title used only on video and DVD covers but not present on any theatrical print. However, as this is the most widely circulated title for the film I have opted to use it. Author's Foreword "The storyline's not so hot bui all of the details are absolutely authentic and some of them are quite extraordinary." Paul Vogel Gess Franco)', in Exorcism How on Earth do you begin to write a book about Jess Franco, the Well, we have tried very hard, and I think we've worked wonders, world's most prolific filmmaker? The answer, in my case at least, is although such aims are still partially out of reach six years later. to lie to yourself until it's too late to turn back! We send this book to the printers with gaps and questions still It all began so innocently. In 2008 I posted a few reviews to an nagging at our nerves; who is the man outside the chapel of Saint online chat group, in which I explored my feelings about a handful Cecilia in A Virgin among the Living Dead? Why, when he turns up of recently viewed Franco titles. The informal setting and the in virtually every Portuguese shoot .between 1971 and 1974, does swiftness with which I wrote the pieces suggested to me that doing he never receive a screen credit? Who the hell plays 'The Monster the same for all of Franco's films might not be such a daunting of Duranstein' in Les Grand.es Emmerdeuses? Or Donen's murdered task. No need for too much detail; the project would simply be a wife in She KiUed in Ecstasy? And will we ever see Sex Charade, collection of (hopefully insightful and amusing) reviews, delivered that most frustratingly inaccessible Jess Franco film, made in 1969 with style but without the heavy lifting of critical biography or in- with the mesmerising Soledad Miranda and still missing from the depth historical study. If I wrote three reviews per week - keeping archives of the world? How can we bear to publish this book when it light, and skirting the can of worms labelled 'research' - such a such questions remain? The answer, although it tugs at my vitals book could be finished in eighteen months. A quickie, something I to say it, is that there will always be loose ends. Waiting until one's could slot in between the two volumes of my ongoing major work, every question is answered would result in a 4000 page monstrosity, Nightmare USA. Yes, you read that right. I actually convinced myself probably published in 2030, and I'm not sure I'll live that long. Even I could write a 'quickie' book about Jess Franco. Which just goes now, Murderous Passions demands a two-volume structure: the total to show that you should never underestimate the capacity of the page count for both is around 850, which is commercially impractical human mind to delude itself... for a single book.

Signature:……………………………………… 3 Summary Due to their characteristic themes (such as „perverse‟ desire and monstrosity) and form (incoherence and excess), exploitation films are often celebrated as inherently subversive or transgressive. I critically assess such claims through a close reading of the films of the Spanish „sex and horror‟ specialist Jess Franco. My textual and contextual analysis shows that Franco‟s films are shaped by inter-relationships between authorship, international genre codes and the economic and ideological conditions of exploitation cinema. Within these conditions, Franco‟s treatment of „aberrant‟ and gothic desiring subjectivities appears contradictory. Contestation and critique can, for example, be found in Franco‟s portrayal of emasculated male characters, and his female vampires may offer opportunities for resistant appropriation.

    Page 27 JESS FRANCO, or THE MISFORTUNES OF VIRTUE John Exshaw El sueño de la razon produce monstruos (The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters) Francisco Goya y Lucientes, Los Caprichos, plate 43, (1797­1798) In his book, Jess Franco: El sexo del horror, the Spanish film historian Carlos Aguilar closes a chapter with the following remark: “It is really true that, in his own way, Jesus Franco represents a damn peculiar case . .” (1) That Jess Franco can produce such a perplexed (and exasperated) response in a compatriot who was, after all, engaged in writing a book­length biographical and critical overview goes some way to illustrate the difficulties encountered in trying to come to grips with Jesús Franco Manera, a director whose staggering output of something like 180 films in forty­five years contrives to make words like ‘maverick’, ‘obsessive’, ‘enigma’, or even ‘deranged’, seem sadly inadequate. Some might question whether it is worth “coming to grips” with Franco at all. His detractors are legion, and, despite the publication of three serious studies (2) and a veritable host of admiring magazine articles, it is fair to say that Franco and his films still fly well below the radar of respectable critical attention; considered, when considered at all, to be beneath both notice and contempt. In part, of course, this attitude is simply a hangover from what might be termed ‘La Plus longue nuit des auteurs’, the Cahiers du Cinéma­inspired revolution which, having done sterling work in elevating the importance of the Seventh Art, then proceeded, like an earlier French Revolution, to overstay its welcome, descending into a kind of intellectual Terror in which certain directors of genre films were elevated to the Pantheon (particularly if they laboured in the more obscure depths of the Hollywood system) while others (mainly European) were simply ignored.

    H-France Review Volume 10 (2010) Page 524 H-France Review Vol. 10 (August 2010), No. 117 Chris Darke, Alphaville. Urbana and Chicago: University of Illinois Press, 2005. xii + 114 pp. Notes, appendices, filmography, bibliography. $50.00 U.S. (cl). ISBN 978-0-252-03088-8. $15.00 U.S. (pb). ISBN 978-0-252-07329-8. Review by Tom Conley, Harvard University. Published in the “French Film Guide” series under the editorship of Ginette Vincendeau, Alphaville is a terse and incisive treatment of Jean-Luc Godard’s feature of the same title. Godard’s film appeared in 1965 after a number of brilliant features, some having gained immediate acclaim (A bout de souffle [1960], Vivre sa vie [1962] Le Mépris [1963]) and others less so (Le Petit Soldat [1960], Une femme est une femme [1961], Les Carabiniers [1963], Une femme mariée [1963]). Alphaville was Godard’s sign of continuity and deviation: continuity, in the photography of Raoul Coutard who once again endowed every shot with a profondeur de surface--a tension of the image conceived as a plane on which characters and forms can be read and seen at once, and a depth of field in which illusion, vital for narrative, is manifest; and deviation, as a piece of science fiction built from a critical relation to Fritz Lang’s cinema of the Weimar Years and film noir of the 1940s. Chris Darke complicates our appreciation of Godard’s film through a carefully charted analytical itinerary. In the first chapter, after reviewing the biographies of Coutard and four players (Akim Tamiroff, Howard Vernon, Anna Karina, Eddie Constantine), he engages a spatial appreciation of the city that the camera causes to be equally familiar and strange.

  • Brechtian Cinemas: Montage and Theatricality in Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet, Peter Watkins and Lars Von Trier
    Brechtian Cinemas: Montage and Theatricality in Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet, Peter Watkins and Lars von Trier by Nenad Jovanovic A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Centre for Study of Drama University of Toronto © Copyright by Nenad Jovanovic 2011 Abstract Brechtian Cinemas: Montage and Theatricality in Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet, Peter Watkins and Lars von Trier Nenad Jovanovic, Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (2011) Graduate Centre for Study of Drama, University of Toronto In this dissertation I investigate the stylistic shift in the cinema of selected filmmakers whose work is rooted in Bertolt Brecht’s dramatic theory: Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet, Peter Watkins, and Lars von Trier. Through the work of these filmmakers, I trace the ongoing change in the cinematic applications of the theory. By and large, the change consists of a lessening of the role of montage – a technique that occupies a paramount place in Brecht’s theatrical and filmic practice – in favour of the objects within the camera’s field of view and the sounds within the microphone’s range. Since the ultimate effect for which the Brechtian filmmaker aims is that of Verfremdung , theatrical stylisation – itself estranging within the context of cinema – appears as a natural corollary of the described shift in emphasis. I also suggest a causal connection between the aforementioned shift and the growing self-consciousness of the style employed by meainstream cinemas (of which Hollywood is the foremost representative), which often manifests itself in the use of unorthodox editing patterns.

XXXIV, Pozna Q 2012, pp. 131-149. Adam Mickiewicz University Press. ISBN 978-83-232-2518-8. ISSN 0239-3271. The article discusses Jesús Franco’s directing work as a film auteur ’s work . His oeuvre, which con- tains about 200 pieces, is often classified under the depreciating name of ‘paracinema’ or ‘eurotrash’. The author depicts Franco’s activity in the field of popular cinema (which is not to be mistaken for commercial cinema) as an incessant struggle with censorship. His style of filmmaking can be considered as symptomatic of a certain special moment in film history: the decade between the Hollywood studio system’s collapse and the video boom. This article shows how the so-called exploitation movies, which was Franco’s main area of activity, fructified with a new model of film reading and culture as well as new modes of production and cinematic practice.

    MoMA PAYS TRIBUTE TO JEAN-MARIE STRAUB AND DANIÈLE HUILLET WITH FIRST COMPLETE NORTH AMERICAN RETROSPECTIVE Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet May 6–June 6, 2016 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters NEW YORK, April 6, 2016—The Museum of Modern Art presents the first complete North American retrospective of Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet, which will feature more than 45 films in the Roy and Niuta Titus theaters from May 6 to June 6, 2016. Straub-Huillet, who together formed one of the most intense, challenging, and controversial collaborations in the history of cinema, created highly personal film interpretations of profoundly ambitious art: stories by Böll, Kafka, Duras, and Pavese; poems by Dante, Mallarmé, and Hölderlin; a long-forgotten Corneille play, an essay by Montaigne, a film by D. W. Griffith, a painting by Cézanne, an unfinished opera by Schöenberg; and the biography of Johann Sebastian Bach as told through the fictionalized letters of his wife Anna Magdalena. Introductions by noted Straub-Huillet collaborators, including their longtime cinematographer Renato Berta, will take place during the retrospective’s opening weekend. The exhibition is organized by Joshua Siegel, Curator, Department of Film, MoMA. Straub (French, b. 1933) and Huillet (French, 1936–2006) were inseparable partners from 1954 until Huillet's death in 2006, working intimately on every aspect of film production from script writing to direction to editing. There are only a handful of similar moviemaking partnerships, notably Jean-Luc Godard and Anne-Marie Miéville, Angela Ricci Lucchi and Yervant Gianikian, and Gene Gauntier and Sidney Olcott. Straub-Huillet sought to make what Straub called “an abstract- pictorial dream,” while also remaining sensitive to the letter and spirit of the text and to the relationship between sound and image.
