SANGRE PARA DRÁCULA

(Paul Morrissey, Italia-Francia 1974, 103 min., v.o.s.e.)

Men touch each other with blows. An energetic duo about masculine construction. A deconstruction of the contemporary virile behaviour, acclaimed by some and questioned by many. CLINCH in boxing is the moment in which the two boxers hug and block each other until the referee separates them. This movement is about getting as close as possible to your rival to protect yourself from their attack. CLINCH exposes the most toxic masculinity, established in the competition, the denial and the confrontation to all that is different. Furthermore, the denial of feelings, excluding rage or fury, that must be demonstrated through the exercise of violence.

El Conde Drácula morirá si no toma cierta cantidad de sangre pura de virgen. Siguiendo el consejo de su ayudante emprende un viaje a Italia, donde las familias son particularmente religiosas y donde podrá encontrar una novia virgen. Se instala en casa de un aristócrata en decadencia con cuatro hijas “vírgenes”.
