«Querer de cine» is the film essay by José Luis Garci, published by Nickel Odeon in paperback (213 pages, in Spanish).
José Luis Garci revisits his personal relationship with cinema and evokes films that, more than titles, were intimate experiences. Halfway between memory and essay, the Spanish director turns his cinematic gaze into literature and champions a way of watching film tied to emotion and life.
The book was published in 2003 and its foreword is by Eduardo Torres-Dulce.
Recommended for lovers of classic cinema and for those who enjoy a director's personal view of films that marked an era.
