In Memorias de un cinéfilo sarnoso, Gerardo Sánchez takes us on an intimate and nostalgic journey through his life, where cinema is not just a pastime but a way of life. With sharp and lively prose, the author—known for his role as director of RTVE's Días de Cine—weaves personal memories with cinematic references that have shaped his journey.
From cherished visits to Cine Usera with his grandmother to encounters with iconic figures of the seventh art, Sánchez reveals how his passion for film has developed, peppering his narrative with hilarious and surprising anecdotes. With biting humor and a critical eye, he not only celebrates his idols but also unmasks those impostors he believes have fallen short.
Through these memoirs, the author invites readers to reflect on the impact of cinema in our lives, creating a bridge between fiction and reality.
