Non grato

"Non grato: An Approach to the Cinema of Jesús Franco", written by José Manuel Serrano Cueto, is a personal approach to the work of a filmmaker, and a man, controversial and unrepeatable. Far from apology, with no intention of defeatism either, this book exposes some keys to understanding his cinema and his personality, and highlights what its author considers most plausible of the director's vast filmography. With the idea that the reader forges a picture as complete as possible of Jesús Franco, the vision that different personalities have about him, both connoisseurs of his cinema and those who worked with him are offered. Likewise, "Non grato" offers its protagonist ample space to narrate his personal and cinematographic battles in the first person. It is not the only exclusive interview in the book, as you will also find other shorter interviews with Lina Romay, Aldo Sambrell, Antonio Mayans and Analía Ivars. In "Non grato: An approach to the cinema of Jesús Franco" the reader will find the main ingredients of Uncle Jess's work: vampires (and especially vampires), lesbianism, sex and death, terror, grim characters and a lot of cinephilia / cinephagia .
