It's fitting that he finally directed a Spanish television series on Goya, which I haven't seen. The Barcelona born director had worked as a comic strip artist and still photographer before that and his best work has a has a very Spanish synthesis of transgressive eroticism, impending violence and earthy irony transformed by a fine visual sense which strongly suggests 19th Century British Romantic landscape painting as well as Francisco Goya. He was 40 when he made his first film, WHIRLPOOL in 1969. Jose Ramon Larraz made 27 films for the theatrical exhibition and TV between 19. Images from the English language cut of LA VISITA DEL VICIO, Jose Ramon Larraz's 1978 erotic crime drama, aka THE VIOLATION OF THE BITCH and THE COMING OF SIN.
