If you’re in the mood for vhs quality rare Jess Franco films…
They don’t come much better than WICKED MEMOIRS OF EUGENIE (1980) and LES EBRANLEES (1973) #francofebruary #jessfranco #jesusfranco #francofriday

An opiate of odiousness that may—& arguably should—remain tucked within the grainy recesses of bootleg hell, WICKED MEMOIRS OF EUGENIE (1980) is yet another De Sadean dulia to scopophilia that distinguishes itself from Jess’ myriad of philosophic boudoirs through somnific minimalism. #FrancoFebruary

It’s marvelous to live without a sense of time in Francoland where a plot’s psychosexual melodramatics rarely result in forward momentum, the actors of BUT WHO RAPED LINDA? (1973) chess pieces trapped in repetitional purgatory of arousal & familial shame, escape just beyond reach. #FrancoFebruary

An alien being weaponizes the body of an exotic dancer for nefarious purposes in sexually unsettling Romay showpiece SHINING SEX (1975), Franco's obsessive preoccupation with his muse's raw sensual power bordering on melancholia, doused in glitter & on gloriously explicit display. #FrancoFebruary

Franco's NIGHTMARES COME AT NIGHT (1970), with its coquettishly casual attitude towards any logical visual composition, boils Umberto Lenzi's Clouzotian gialli down to surrealistic stew of kink & causality, protracting reality like an intoxicatingly overlong striptease of saturation. #FrancoFebruary

THE SINISTER EYES OF DR. ORLOFF (1973) belong to William Berger this time in Jess Franco’s gothic giallo incarnation of his favorite mad quack with vengeful hypnotism, kill lists, bathtub bludgeoning, gaslighting, inheritance schemes & overly curious neighbors aplenty. #FrancoFebruary

An evil wizard & his rapacious vampire hen steal Frankenstein's monster so the amorously burnished carcass can father a master race of concupiscent corpses in THE EROTIC RITES OF FRANKENSTEIN (1972), flagellating the senses with Franco's patented ocular mélange of lunatic freneticism #FrancoFebruary

Jess Franco’s dialogue deficient Hammer Horror antithesis DRACULA, PRISONER OF FRANKENSTEIN (1972) is a Quaaludes cinema monster mash narrated by a whispery echo from a wall pipe, sublimating implausibility through every resurrected arteriole of Universal’s classic catalogue. #FrancoFebruary 🦇

Continuing to test the boundaries of conventional genre filmmaking, Jess Franco's DR. ORLOFF'S MONSTER (1964) or more precisely The Mistresses of Dr. Jekyll brews its own potent mad science of Wellesian shadows, giving the krimi a gothic overhaul of sexual guilt & fratricidal rage. #FrancoFebruary
