Ocaña, retrato intermitente

Ventura Pons, Spain 1978 ⁄ 73' ⁄ ST - OND: FR

Cult film of the Barcelona movida about the Andalusian painter Ocaña, the queer “pariah” of the Franco era. Portrait of José Pérez Ocaña (1947-1983), painter, sculptor, singer, actor and performer from Andalusia, who during the Transition roamed the Ramblas of Barcelona dressed as a queer sevillana. The film offers an immersion in the creative universe of this countercultural icon, bringing a breath of freedom to a country weighed down by forty years of dictatorship.
