Французский сад / El huerto del Francés (1978)

One of the myths of fantastic movies, Paul Naschy, filmed this realistic drama in the best tradition of Spanish novel (Cela, Blasco Ibanez) and paintings (Goya, Gutierrez Solana). The story of a real psychokiller, “the french man”. Besides Naschy two beautiful stars, Maria Jose Cantudo (in her best role) and Agatha Lys. The action is good, the atmospheric photography looks great and crime scenes are strong. A film for rediscovering.
—A Frenchman arrives in a small town. No one knows where he came from. He establishes himself as a moneylender, and turns his house into a brothel. Bullfighters and other types of people frequent the “French garden”, but some of them never return.
