Night Has a Thousand Desires

Night Has a Thousand Desires (Spanish: Mil sexos tiene la noche, lit. 'The Night has a Thousand Sexes') is a 1983 Spanish film directed by Jesús Franco. The film stars Lina Romay as a nightclub entertainer Irina, who uses mind-reading as a performance act. She receives a note on stage and when reading it as part of her act, it reads "You have a few hours to live". Her partner Fabian initially dismisses the note as a prank, but Irina wanders off into the night and commits murders, later being unsure if they were vivid dreams or reality. Night Has a Thousand Desires was one of the many films Franco had made with Golden Films International, a small production company that allowed Franco complete artistic freedom to develop any kind of film he wanted on his small budget. Night Has a Thousand Desires borrowed narrative from films of Franco's past such Nightmares Come at Night (1973). The director also performed several other technical credits while filming, including being the director of photography and film editor. It was shot in either late 1982 or early 1983 in the Southern provinces of Spain.
