Spain under Franco is something I know very little about. However, all of the Spanish films I've seen that were filmed under his reign exude a real sense of paranoia and terror. Even the low-budget creep fests Paul Naschy was busting out have this unsettling edge of constant betrayal and fear of authority. Or authority being completely corrupt and tyrannical. "Blue Eyes of the Broken Doll" (Los ojos azules de la muñeca rota) written by and starting Naschy and direct by Carlos Aured is a good example. The kind of films de la Iglesia was making were most likely deeper but I wouldn't be surprise if the fascist regime made everyone antsy.<br /><br />p.s. "Blue Eyes of the Broken Doll" is a recommended film if you can get the uncut version in the original language. Kind of wacky, but creepy, and its got knee boots in Spain.idohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04182559907045813643noreply@blogger.com
