Down Town

Got to see this as a surprise show within a film festival, we were supposed to get the latest Franco film, but the film didn't arrive in time so this one was pulled from an archive instead. This film with Jesús Franco himself in the main role as a sleazy hitman is a slow but sensual experience. The music in the film feels like a summer's breeze: the kind of jazzy soundtrack Jess Franco is famous for. Then there are the beautiful women: Lina Romay and Martine Stedil are a bisexual killer couple. It's a typical b-movie and every one of these characters are right at home in this world of sleaze.
