Vampir-Cuadecuc

In 1970, Jesús Franco, former Spanish assistant to Welles, shoots Nachts, wenn Dracula erwacht in his country, in Technicolor, splendid, with Christopher Lee. Portabella, a producer (of Buñuel, among others) and filmmaker from the School of Barcelona, asks permission to direct a making of. The result does not follow the canon: grainy black and white, desynchronised sound, real messy editing, a surprising recipe that reminds one of a wild Warhol. What is it about? In 1970, censorship watches, Franco (this time, the caudillo) is still in power, a living-dead ruling over a bleeding country like Dracula.
