Pere Portabella en MOMA

Otro cineasta catalán dice presente en NYC. Y ahora es el turno del director Pere Portabella, de quien se presenta una retrospectiva desde ayer en el Museo de Arte Moderno, hasta el seis de octubre. Entre todas, la que me llama poderosamente la atención, es la que hizo sobre vampiros:

Vampir Cuadecuc (
1970, Spain)
Is a delirious reflection on the codes and conventions of the horror film through the language of structural materialist cinema. Shot on the set of Jesús Franco's Count Dracula (1970), with a compelling soundtrack by Carles Santos, the film alternates between being a horror film—with intertextual references back to Carl Dreyer's Vampyr (1932)—and documenting Franco's filming. This film evinces a distinct authorial style, evidenced through Portabella's use of high-contrast photography and his blending of documentary and fiction. 75 min.
