Euro
filmmaker Jose Ramon Larraz fought diligently in the '70s and '80s to
loosen censorship restrictions in his home country of Spain. Often, his
films (e.g., WHIRLPOOL,
VAMPYRES,
SEXUAL
RITES OF THE DEVIL, SCREAM
AND DIE, et al) would push the boundaries of cultural acceptability.
Towards the end of his career, he ventured to North America where he made
numerous films, usually under the alias Joseph Braunstein. Director Larraz
died September 3, 2013 in Andalucía, Spain at age 83.
