A Fitting Tribute To The Master By William Amazzini Little did I know what wonders would be found in the package that arrived at my doorstep the other day. I know many of you Franco fans out there are wondering about the quality and research that can constitute a retrospective on the cinema of Director Jesus Franco . Well, look no further for author Stephen Thrower with assistance from Julian Grainger has accomplished this and even more. This is Volume One of ,it seems, a two volume series and this one covers the years of 1959 thru 1974 starting with 'TENEMOS 18 ANOS' and ending with 'LES GRANDES EMMERDEUCES ' aka 'THE COLOSSAL BLOODY NUISANCES '. Each film is presented by year release, alternate titles, production companies involved in the films release, theatrical distributors, a timeline of the shooting date to the theatrical release, cast and credits, full synopsis of the film, production notes, a full review of the film , reflections on the cast and crew, Franco on screen (cameos he appeared in ) the films locations, the films music , connections( where the film echoes other Franco films or ideas of films to come) ,other versions of the film, and press coverage on each film. Had enough? There's more. The book has a forward by actress Monica Swinn, a wonderful introduction to what constitutes a Franco film experience, a section on the Eurocine production company and a conversation between the author and Franco and his muse, Lina Romay conducted in 2010 . There is still more but that's for you to find out. The book is super saturated with rare stills and photos plus 2 color sections which will knock your eyes out. Author Thrower has greatly improved since his other tome 'BEYOND TERROR- THE FILMS OF LUCIO FULCI discussing each films positives and negatives without seeming redundant. It has almost been two decades since the first serious book on the Director 'OBSESSION- THE FILMS OF JESS FRANCO scribed by Lucas Balbo , Peter Bluminstock and Christian Kessler was published and since then , hard to find prints of his films have become readily available thru DVD and BLU-RAY making this series of books long over due and we are blessed that Stephen Thrower and Julian Grainger have taken up the gauntlet. Don't let the book's price throw you off, it is worth the treasures found within it's massive bulk and I think I read that it is a limited edition so act fast. Alongside author Tim Lucas's quintessential tome on Director Mario Bava 'ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK', this first volume on Director Jesus Franco is essential for fans and film scholars alike and it would be a tragedy for any serious genre fan to be without it.

Exactly what one expects from Mr. Thrower by now. His writing is always detailed, intelligent and thoughtful. This is serious scholarship, yet written with much wit and charm. This is obviously not for everyone, as Franco's work is certainly an acquired taste. But for those who recognize how truly unique and mesmerizing Franco's vision was, this book is absolutely indispensable. It's hard to imagine a more ambitious examination of his work. I can't wait for volume 2... or the second volume of Nightmare USA, for that matter.
6 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Absolutely brilliant. By Troy R. Howarth This is the book Jess Franco fans have been waiting for... well, half the book, anyway! 2016 seems so far away, now that I know I have to wait until then to savor volume two of this magnificent appreciation of one of European cult cinema's most polarizing figures. Thrower's clear, incisive writing is a pleasure to read from beginning to end. He manages to convey enthusiasm without coming off like a total fanboy and he challenges many of the assumptions made about Franco and his work. The end result is engaging and insightful, but never dry and stuffy. From my point of view, this is the finest thing yet written about the director in English - and happily, the quality of the production from the publisher at Strange Attractor matches the quality of the content. There are some terrific images here, a number of which I have never seen before, and the reproduction quality is outstanding. Now all that remains is for me to anxiously await volume two... Bravo, Stephen Thrower - you've done Franco and his cinema proud.
