SINISTER TALES and THE MARK OF NASCHY present
THE CARLOS AURED INTERVIEW
What was your intention of filming APOCALIPSIS SEXUAL? Did you want to make a statement about the morals of society at the time, or was the film meant primarily as entertainment?
I believe that it was more of a social criticism, an exercise on the Stockholm Syndrome from the sexual angle. It is a movie in which producer put in only 20% care and money, and with 100% care and work on my part, I got a 60% picture.
How was it like to work with Lina Romay? Was Jess Franco ever present during the filming of the movie? Have you ever met Jess Franco? If so, what is your opinion of the man?
I have worked twice with Lina Romay, and both times she has given me more than I asked for. I don't believe Jess Franco was present at either of the shoots, even on a visit. We used to bump into each other in the editing and sound studios, each one working on different movies. My opinion about him is that it is a likable person, a very intelligent man, and a very good director, although I believe that he is disenchanted with the cinema. He has not been valued as he deserves, and his reaction has been to be make movies solely to get some money and survive. But this is just my opinion.
Did you act in this film? If so, what was your role?
I don't remember acting in any of my movies, or even if I did so in some of Klimovsky's. And frankly, it is not my field.
Some fans of erotic horror films say that Ajita Wilson was a transsexual? Do you know if this is true?
Ajita has died. She was charming, beautiful and very professional. The rest is not important.
This film is very liberated in its sex scenes. Did any of the actors have trouble filming these scenes? Was Lina Romay the most enthusiastic member of this acting group? Were there any "hardcore" scenes filmed for this movie?
The movie was simply born as softcore, but as it was being finished, it was sold to Italy, and they asked us to complete it with some scenes that the experts call "medical shots." We spoke to the actresses and reached an agreement with them. We looked for a professional hardcore actor. We removed all the sheets from all the beds in the scene, and in two hours the guy who was "always ready" fulfilled his obligations towards all the girls one by one. He marched out of there with his money pocket full, his prostate exhausted and an enormous smile on his face.
