Forqué, el oficio de hacer cine

The awards that bear his name are a symbol of prestige in Spanish cinema, yet José María Forqué remains a largely unrecognized figure. This documentary revisits his legacy through his own voice and those of actors and filmmakers who knew him. A journey through popular Spanish cinema, from the box-office successes of the 1950s and the Silver Bear in Berlin to his consecration as a master of comedy and television, and an intimate portrait of a filmmaker who used to say he was known only as “Verónica Forqué’s father.”
