Memoria poster

Released in 1976, Memoria is a science fiction film directed by Francisco Macián, running about 80 minutes.

What it’s about. The particular storyline concerns memory, specifically the transference of chief scientist Professor Ulop’s memories to a mentally vacant physical subject. Considering this is a banal idea, and more-or-less certain to go horribly wrong (the alternative atavistic title Beasts Shouldn’t Look in the Mirror hints how), the visuals had better be good if this story is to keep the audience’s interest. And against expectations they actually are.

Who’s in it. Memoria stars Jaime Casals as Paciente, Pedro Díez del Corral as Peter, Pat Johnson as Helen and William Layton as Dean, among others.
