It is relevant to my interests and I would like to subscribe to its newsletter.

You've never been in heat, Aunt.' Great stuff! <br /><br />And I just couldn't figure John out. I still can't.

Some really great cinematographer here, very brooding and arty, and a lot of quiet tension broken up by surprising and disturbing set-pieces. This one should really be next on some DVD company's list for restoration/special edition.<br /><br />Interesting bit of trivia: on the last day of shooting, director Claudio Guerin actually FELL TO HIS DEATH from the bell tower that features so prominently in the film. (Some sources say it was an accident, some that he jumped. Of course he also might have been pushed...) As a result, the post-production/editing supervision was done by another director, Juan Antonio Bardem. Both did an excellent job, I think, but I can't help wishing Guerin had stuck around to deliver more movies like this one. <br /><br />Glad you got to see it! ;)The Vicar of VHShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06832137990485130735noreply@blogger.com
