Film’s greatest love story. Franco made over a hundred films with Lina Romay and the two were together until her death in 2012. Franco himself passed away just a little over a year later in 2013. #FrancoFriday

Jess Franco's Sadean billet-doux to antireligious intelligentsia LOVE LETTERS OF A PORTUGUESE NUN (1977) is never lascivious when lingering upon Maria, but sardonic, even enviously awestruck as transgression only serves to deepen her piety in a Buñuelian inversion of stubborn naïveté. #FrancoFriday

I feel like I know her, but sometimes my arms bend back.

Replacing the creak of the crypt with the squeak of the bed, Andrea Bianchi's MALABIMBA (1979) is a tragi-melo-comic late bloomer Exorcist effigy by way of a dip in Teorema's ever diminishing wellspring, critiquing the castello in between bouts of self-care with plushies & fatal fellatio.

The one-stop-shop for all your holiday nunsploitation needs, Kōyū Ohara's WET ROPE CONFESSION (1979) doesn't' just have a sex auction ewe won't believe, but also whipping, sapphic sisters getting in flagrante with breadsticks, odd racial fetish, toilet licking, disco dancing & a madcap meet-cute.

As modern imitators aiming for the transgressive combustible that is Moctezuma’s ALUCARDA (1977) churn out empty hyperbolic nonsense, swear your fealty to the OG 666 with a sanguinary princess streak as it couches exquisitely explicit blasphemy within romantic echo chambers of yonic yarling.

Assisted by crime tv stalwart Jürgen Roland, Josef von Báky's THE STRANGE COUNTESS (1961) with Lil Dagover as manic eyed, venerable Gloria Swanson adjacent Countess Moron (yes, MORON) achieves a climactic krimi comingling of old sensibility fantastic with steely hardboiled edge. #Noirvember

Mesmerically heartbreaking chamber piece AL OTRO LADO DEL ESPEJO (1973) is Jess Franco's most beautifully restrained meditation on female neurosis, a tragic heroine both bride & groom to the violent trauma unsuccessfully dislocated in a reflective nether realm of erotic self-destruct. #FrancoFriday

I visited Hong Kong once as a teen, and saw Simon Yam wearing a skintight, full body jumpsuit straight out of The Running Man. All I could do was point at him, slack-jawed, and he smiled and said “Yes, it’s me.” Almost died right there and then.
Here's wishing you and yours a very fruitful Yamsgiving

Satō's bleak reinterpretation of The Conversation SURVEY MAP OF A PARADISE LOST (1988) also examines voyeurism from an auditorial standpoint, challenging the technology meant to ease connection that further divides & mechanizes a bubble society reeling from its byproduct: lack of sensation.

While Ákos Ráthonyi's THE DEVIL'S DAFFODIL (1961) feels most recognizably giallo in its dancer dispatching stocking masked menace & airline insurance sleuth, the daffy smuggler subplot, crazed Kinski & cringe use of Christopher Lee as a Charlie Chan-esque spy are pure krimi kookiness. #Noirvember
