Albert Serra ha convertido su obra cinematografica en una reflexion sobre la vejez masculina, o mas bien el envejecimiento de ciertos arquetipos masculinos, a juzgar por los protagonis-tas de las peliculas, que suelen ser hombres ancianos: Don Quijote, los Re-yes Magos, Casanova o Luis XIV. Este articulo explora concretamente la sexualidad a partir del filme Historia de mi muerte  (2013), que confronta dos de los mitos eroticos masculinos mas potentes del imaginario cultural occi-dental: Casanova y Dracula. El director juega con los significados culturales y literarios de ambos arquetipos como sendos emblemas del libertino y el depredador, cuya sexualidad transgrede la moral burguesa y cristiana prepon-derante. Serra acentua el caracter maduro de los personajes en la pelicula, presentandolos como iconos de la sexualidad masculina senil. Ademas, su vejez contrasta con la representacion cinematografica tipica de las personas mayores, cuya sexualidad continua siendo un tabu. Abstract: Albert Serra’s films explore male old age or rather the aging of certain male archetypes such as Don Quixote, the Magi, Casanova or Louis XIV. This article specifically analyses how Historia de mi muerte  (2013) depicts sexuality in old age. The film confronts two of the most famous male myths  of Western culture: Casanova and Dracula. As emblems of the libertine and the predator, their sexuality subverts the dominant bourgeois and Christian morals. By emphasising the characters’ old age, Serra depicts them as epitomes of male senile sexuality. Additionally, the film brings to the fore the sexual activity of elderly people, which is still a taboo in cinema.
