In 'Foot-ball Days', José Luis Garci intertwines his two great passions: cinema and football. Taking as a starting point the chronicles he wrote for the ABC newspaper during the 1994 Los Angeles World Cup, Garci offers a personal and reflective analysis of both worlds. This book is an exploration of the connections between the king of sports and the seventh art, through the eyes of a renowned Spanish film director.
José Luis García Muñoz, known professionally as José Luis Garci, is a Spanish film director, producer, critic, TV presenter, screenwriter and author. One of the most influential film personalities in the history of film in Spain, he earned worldwide acclaim and his country's first Best Foreign Language Film Academy Award for Begin the Beguine (1982). Four of his films, including also Sesión continua (1984), Asignatura aprobada (1987) and El abuelo (1998), have been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, more than any other Spanish director. His films are characterized for his classical style and the underlying sentimentality of their plots.
