    If you go to my www.cinemadrome.yuki.com board, an offshoot of this blog, you will find a report on Franco's exact comments by Spanish correspondent Nzoog in the featured GOYA AWARDS thread.

    Just hit the link at the top of the left sidebard.

    Just seeing the image of Jess clutching his award is a moving experience considering how he has so often been underrated and put down by the establishment for so many years. He must be rather in a state of shock to be so honored by the mainstream industry at the late date in his life.
