"I hope these memoirs will be used by my descendants as a guide. It's an initiation into a passionate world of rare and unknown sensations, a seductive and tragic world bred in pain and blood, the tragic eroticism of all the senses, finally ending in death."

The Perverse Faces of Victor Israel
The Sitges film festival is not only premiering the Naschy documentary, THE MAN WHO SAW FRANKENSTEIN CRY, but on October 10th also a documentary on the late Victor Israel, one of the most recognized faces in Spanish cinema. Titled LOS PERVERSOS ROSTROS DE VICTOR ISRAEL (THE PERVERSE FACES OF VICTOR ISRAEL), the documentary traces his career and contains reminiscences from fellow film professionals like Javier Aguirre, Eugenio Martin, Jordi Grau, Frank Brana, and others. The project initially began as a ten-minute video tribute, but quickly blossomed into a longer format.
