Fuego (1969) with guest Victoria Ruétalo

We start the new year by taking a swim with Argentinian superstar Isabel Sarli. Dr Victoria Ruétalo joins us to talk sexploitation, censorship, and the amazing thirty year filmmaking partnership between Sarli and her director Armando Bo. We mention several sources in the episode, so as promised here is a list of things to check out:


"Violence and Sex in the Work of Armando Bó and Isabel Sarli" by Victoria Ruétalo

"Temptations: Isabel Sarli exposed" by Victoria Ruétalo

Violated Frames: Armando Bó and Isabel Sarli's Sexploits by Victoria Ruétalo

"‘The girl the whole world is waiting to see more of!’ Isabel Sarli, and the failed attempt to launch a new star in 1960s Britain" by Adrian Smith

When John Waters met Isabel Sarli in 2018


The closing song is "Fuego" by Eleni Foureira, and was the Cyprus Eurovision entry in 2018. Sorry. Couldn't resist.
