Susana y el sexo

a film by César Vallejo
La libertad sexual para una mujer pasa por no renunciar al placer, y por tener experiencias sexuales más seguras y libres, sin discriminación ni violencia. Porque no puede existir la verdadera libertad sin libertad sexual.
Susana Estrada

So says Susana Estrada (Gijón, 1950), the protagonist of an illuminating RTVE Play documentary, which I watched quite by chance, thanks to an article in elDiario.es. Until now, I had no clue who Estrada was and, luckily, still is. Who? The first Spanish actress to perform nude onstage; sex columninst in Play-Lady; the singer famous for songs such as ¡Quítate el sosten!, Voy desnuda and ¡Gózame ya! aka ¡Fóllame ya!; probably the first Spanish woman to employ bodyguards — well, everything that one should expect from the self-proclaimed “mujer icono e ‘icoño’ de la Transición”, and more.

Directed by César Vallejo. Screenplay by Valeria Vegas, Ángela Gallardo and César Vallejo. With participation of Celia Blanco, Fernando Castedo, María Ángeles Durán, Gracia Trujillo and others.
