A landmark Severin collection
Exorcismo: Defying a Dictator & Raising Hell in Post-Franco Spain includes 18 feature films and one documentary. The titles were released during or after the Franco era, a time when Spanish filmmakers began addressing themes previously restricted under censorship laws. The included documentary Exorcismo: The Transgressive Legacy of Clasificada S (2024), directed by Alberto Sedano and narrated by Iggy Pop, examines the cultural impact of the “Clasificada S” classification in Spain.
