On the longstanding recommendation of Jonathan Rosenbaum, I'm watching Pere Portabella's CUADECUC, VAMPIR, an experimental retelling of the Dracula mythos through the behind-camera antics of the production of a real-life Jesús Franco movie starring Christopher Lee!— Nathanael Hood (@NateHood257) April 25, 2018
Yeah, this definitely seems like the kind of esoteric, experimental twisting of the shape and form of cinema that Rosenbaum so dearly cherishes.— Nathanael Hood (@NateHood257) April 25, 2018
I get the artistic reasons Portabella probably made this film--and they're fascinating ones!--but the only thing I'm here to see is more B-roll of Christopher Lee goofing off with the crew in between takes.— Nathanael Hood (@NateHood257) April 25, 2018
7/10I'm not sure I buy all the supposed political implications this film has concerning the years of Franco's rule, but it remains an amusing, occasionally revelatory experience.— Nathanael Hood (@NateHood257) April 25, 2018
