Description
PURE BLOOD | PURA SANGRE (1982, 98min.) is a biting satire on vampirism at the heart of capitalism in Colombia, made in the guise of a B-movie and mixing references that go from Citizen Kane to Murnau, George Romero, Howard Hughes, Dracula, and local urban legends. Horror, exploitation, and comedy are blended in this portrait of an old and bedridden sugar tycoon stricken by a rare disease that requires him to undergo an increasing number of blood transfusions, which will be obtained through aberrant stratagems. Released in the 1980s, its (then) commercial failure would give ground to a Latin American cult, whose restored copy in 2K is being shown in the UK for the first time! The evening will follow with DJ Benzo, who will make us dance with a special birthday selection of Brazilian funk and more!Transport
