"Is this the so-called Spanish fury?" Film and subcultures beyond esperpento
Abstract
This article aims to analyse Furia española (Francesc Betriu, 1975) beyond the concept of esperpento and the clichés about lumpen-proletariat in Spanish cinema. By retrieving censorship documents from AGA (Archivo General de la Administración) and studying the film's complete version, it is understood as an approach to a specific subculture, to analyse the ways in which late-Francoism's football and media culture impacted onto the indomitable popular universe of Barcelona's Barrio Chino.
