Sida, la peste del siglo XX

About This Movie

So, 'Sida, la peste del siglo XX' is this curious piece from Jess Franco, finished, but it never saw the light of day, which is a real shame. The atmosphere is thick with tension, capturing the weight of its themes surrounding disease and societal decay. Franco’s usual penchant for the unnerving is on display here, though it's more subdued compared to his more overt works. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative at times, allowing the viewer to really soak in the grim realities it portrays. Practical effects are there, adding a layer of gritty realism. Performances might not hit the heights of Franco's more well-known films, but there's an earnestness that feels particularly haunting. Definitely a collector's curiosity.
