Jorge Molina's Career As A Filmmaker
Contexto:
"Su estilo es, según confiesa, **'un amor hacia la referencia'** cuyos origines se remontan a una precoz cinefilia, y sobre que postmodernamente construye sus alucinantes versiones de los clásicos en clave trash."

a love of allusion
English generally speaks concretely of "a reference to" something, but the process itself in the abstract is more likely to be termed "allusion."

a love of allusions/references
i.e. alluding to other works. I think if you are going to use 'reference' it has to be pluralised to evoke to desire meaning.

Spanish term (edited):
un amor hacia la referencia
love of irreverence
Virtually all of the research I’ve done on Jorge Molina refers to his work as always being ‘irreverent’, so I wonder with ‘referencia’ here, could it mean something like ‘innuendo’, ‘connotation’, 'implication' or 'suggestion', all of which are synonyms of ‘allusion’.
My take on it. Suerte.
My take on it. Suerte.
Example sentence:
By his own admission, his style reflects his ‘love of irreverence’...
