The Films of Jesus Franco, 1953-1966
With more than 180 films during a career spanning several decades, Jesus Franco (1930-2013) was an extraordinarily prolific and chameleon-like Spanish director, covering virtually every genre from horror to film noir, adventure and erotic, and adapting to all kinds of productions.

Chi muore prima
Quattro ragazzi, tre maschi e una femmina. Tutti coetanei o quasi, frequentavano lo stesso istituto superiore. E hanno condiviso la scelta della loro via di fuga: all’estremità di una corda. Suicidi figli di un’asfissia minore, quella della crisi che attanaglia la provincia di una metropoli industriosa, divorando ogni futuro. Ma è davvero tutto qui? L’ispettore Remo Jacobi, alle prese con la preoccupazione per l’amato padre Johan e con incubi di lontana memoria, si trova precipitato in un mondo di adolescenti che non gli è per niente familiare. E la «caccia al colpevole» che gli è stata affidata diventa un pellegrinaggio tra le miserie passate e gli incubi presenti di un’uman...
