Abstract
The article discusses Jesús Franco’s directing work as a film auteur’s work. His oeuvre, which contains
about 200 pieces, is often classified under the depreciating name of ‘paracinema’ or
‘eurotrash’. The author depicts Franco’s activity in the field of popular cinema (which is not to be
mistaken for commercial cinema) as an incessant struggle with censorship. His style of filmmaking
can be considered as symptomatic of a certain special moment in film history: the decade between
the Hollywood studio system’s collapse and the video boom. This article shows how the so-called
exploitation movies, which was Franco’s main area of activity, fructified with a new model of film
reading and culture as well as new modes of production and cinematic practice.
