| Item | Details | |------|---------| | | Bestialidad (Spanish for “Bestiality”) | | Year | 1976 | | Medium | Film (exploitation/erotic‑drama) – often catalogued as a “solid piece” in genre‑film circles because of its relatively high production values for the sub‑genre. | | Country | Spain (some sources list it as a co‑production with Italy) | | Director | Juan Antonio Calvo (sometimes credited as “J. A. Calvo”) | | Screenwriters | Juan Antonio Calvo & María López de la Torre | | Principal Cast | - Antonio G. Serrano as Andrés - Lola del Río as María - Pedro Aranda as El Cura (the priest) - Silvia Martínez as Celia | | Running Time | ~92 minutes | | Genre | Erotic drama / exploitation / psychological thriller | | Production Company | CineArtes S.A. (a modest Spanish studio that specialized in low‑budget genre titles) | | Distributor | Filmax International (handled both theatrical and later VHS releases) | | Music | Composed by José M. García , featuring a blend of flamenco‑inspired motifs and 1970s progressive‑rock synth textures. | | Cinematography | Luis M. Soler – noted for using natural lighting and wide‑angle lenses that give the rural settings a stark, almost documentary feel. | | Art Direction/Set Design | Rural Andalusian farmhouses and a decaying chapel – locations were shot on location near Córdoba , giving the film an authentic, gritty texture that distinguishes it from many studio‑bound exploitation titles of the era. | Plot (Concise Summary) Warning: The film contains mature themes, including sexual transgression, religious symbolism, and implied bestial acts. The description below is factual rather than graphic. Andrés (Antonio G. Serrano) returns to his ancestral farm after years of wandering as a laborer in the city. He discovers that the property is in a state of decline, the once‑prosperous vineyards now overrun with weeds, and the family chapel has fallen into disrepair. His sister María (Lola del Río) lives with her teenage daughter Celia (Silvia Martínez), both of whom have been raised under the strict moral watch of the local priest, El Cura (Pedro Aranda).
