Julio Coll

Julio Coll i Claramunt was a filmmaker, screenwriter and producer for cinema, Television director, writer, journalist and music and theater critic. But above all, Coll was one of the great celebrities in Spanish and Catalan cinema thanks to his excellent noir films. Among others, Nunca es demasiado tarde (1955), Distrito Quinto (1957), A Glass of Whisky (1959), Los cuervos (1961), La cuarta ventana (1961), Ensayo general para la muerte (1962) or Los muertos no perdonan (1963), whose unusual visual strength led the French newspaper “Le Figaro” to categorically state that Coll could well be, along with Bardem and Berlanga, “the third man of Spanish cinema”.
