Free UK delivery on eligible orders. Review: Beautiful work all round - Another classic piece of writing from Stephen Thrower, and worth every penny. This is a work of love, perhaps a perverse love that suits its subject. Mr Thrower does much hard work in researching, reviewing and meditating on the films of the much maligned Jess Franco, a filmmaker who for years was maligned as either "the world's most dangerous..." a title he revealed in, or the most inept producer of cheap horrors ever - pretty much the view of every 80s and 90s horror film magazine going. Having read the first volume cover to cover, and strategically dipping into this second, put me firmly in line with the first group. Franco was a visionary, and almost every film has something to recommend it. Oh, he may have messed up a few times, mostly when called on to produce something totally generic, but he could produce miracles on minimal budgets. The book itself is a work of art, Mr Thrower being a witty, engaging writer with some lovely turns of phrase, but it is also beautifully produced, with fabulous use of still images, both colour and black and white, and printed on quality paper. But this while you still can, because it's a collector's piece that no collector will easily part with in years to come, in the same class as Tim Lucas's All the Colours of the Dark or Trey Howarth's two volume study of Giallo cinema, So Deadly, So Perverse, and look how hard they are to get hold of now. Thank you, Stephen Thrower, for thanks to you i finally learned how to appreciate a maestro. Buy it. You'll love it. Review: Worth the Wait - As with the previous reviewer, I did wonder if this second volume would actually see the light of day, but it soon becomes clear why we had to wait and that it was definitely worth the wait. This is a mighty tome - a labour of love, but one that somehow manages to be both objective and personal all in one go. A contradiction to be sure, but a welcome one. Collectively both volumes prove themselves to be the definitive work on Franco and the research much be applauded. The reviews are more than just informative, they challenge and inspire one to seek out these works, from the classics to the dreck! An absolute joy to read and look at (I refer of course to the wonderful photographs, many of which are being published for the first time in such a work). The book is a thing of beauty, but perhaps not one to leave around for children or those easily offended - perhaps you own a secret coffee table in a red room, if so, that's the place for this. Excellent and an absolute bargain at the current price. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 257 in Erotic Art (Books) 310 in Video Photography 396 in Film Director Biographies | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (120) | | Dimensions | 24.77 x 4.45 x 27.94 cm | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 190722260X | | ISBN-13 | 978-1907222603 | | Item weight | 2.54 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 512 pages | | Publication date | 5 Jan. 2018 | | Publisher | Strange Attractor Press | | Reading age | 18 years and up | ## Images ![Flowers of Perversion: The Delirious Cinema of Jesus Franco: 2 (Strange Attractor Press) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ljJSyIJRL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful work all round *by D***N on 30 January 2019* Another classic piece of writing from Stephen Thrower, and worth every penny.
