“[A] wonderfully vivid sexual nightmare that’s one of Franco’s best” –Mondo Esoterica

MACUMBA SEXUAL is a late-career masterpiece starring (of course, again) Franco’s wife and radiant muse Lina Romay as a sexually repressed woman tormented by visions of ‘the goddess of unspeakable lust’ (an unforgettable performance by pioneering transgender actress Anita Wilson) in a fever dream of erotic cruelty and carnal duality. With more than a nod to previous works in Jess’ canon, specifically VAMPYROS LESBOS and LORNA THE EXORCIST, this humid sexual nightmare expands the Franco universe into the blinding horizon of the beyond.

This film is screening as part of FRANCOMANIA: VAMPYROS FRANCOS, a series devoted to Jess Franco’s vampire films, also playing at Webster University. Come early for a pop-up shop from Severin Films in the lobby!
