It is his “great passion” as the director of the Cineclub Paradiso assured, Jesus Martinezwho remembered that the author is a great cinephile, of those for whom there is nothing that makes you happier than watching a movie in a movie theater. He himself told it in statements to THE OPINION while recounting the reason for this volume. “There is no better place than that sala in which turn off the lights and on a huge white screen a whole universe of dreams and emotions”.

“Since I was very youngmis parents me took to the movies and they taught me that it was there where a film was most and best enjoyed. In those years 70’s and early 80’sin my native Alicante, I had the pleasure and privilege of enjoying on the big screen ‘Ben-Hur’, ‘Casablanca’, ‘The Wizard of Oz’ y ‘The Godfather‘. My parents did with me what I now do with my children,” Campoy pointed out.

He waited largas colas“sometimes kilometers”, to see ‘Shark’, ‘Star Wars’, ‘Superman’, ‘Alien’, ‘E. T.’… ‘The Untouchables by Eliot Ness‘. “How, to a niño to whom they loved los books and moviesand, at iba, it occurs some day to write its own treatise on those movies that, in one way or another, marked its existence”, he asserted forcefully.

The director of Cineclub Paradiso affirmed that they had it clear from the beginning when they decided to bet for this new project apart from its usual proposals, but that still has to do with the cinema. “The work of our colleague Luis Campoy is a excited and exhausted analysis of the films that have wrought are cinephile soulin a selection of up to 90 titlesabsolutely essential for him subjective and personal which, naturally, make it even more suggestive and exciting to read”.

And he added that the author will be present this Saturday to “talk to us about the book and sign copies to those who dare to live that adventure, also cinephile, which is to immerse themselves in a good film book. It is edited by the Almería publishing house Red circle It is the first experience as a sponsor of cinema publications that Cineclub Paradiso has undertaken since its foundation and, for this reason, we are all expectant and deluded before the result”.

The author takes a tour through a series of films that, he pointed out, made him “love the seventh art” and with whom he had the fortune “to be able to enjoy movies as they are best enjoyed: On the big screen”. And he pointed some of them like ‘King kong‘. “Who does not remember that gigantic gorilla that emerged from a grove ready to seize the beautiful and fragile star of the movie, with who knows what malevolent intentions.”

He insisted that “the impact what caused that scene in an audience that was not yet accustomed to a magic explosion of those characteristics was so enormous (amazement, terror, fascination) that today’s viewers are simply unable to understand it”.

gone With the Wind‘ is also included in your selection. About her, he recounted details such as that it had its origin in the novel of the same name by the Atlanta journalist Margaret Mitchellfond of everything that had to do with the civil war. “During a convalescence after a broken ankle, Mitchell began a manuscript that it would take seven years to complete and be sent to the printer. Their film rights were purchased by producer David O. Selznick for a whopping $50,000”.

Another classic is ‘Rebeca‘. He begins his particular vision of this film precisely with the initial narration of the film: “Last night I dreamed that I had returned to Manderley. In my dream I was at the gate of the park, but for a few moments I could not enter…”. James Bondmade by Sean Connery; ‘Smiles and tears‘, for a very young Julie Andrews; ‘Shark’; ‘the silence of the lambs’; ‘Jurassic Park‘… They are titles on which he makes a detailed tour showing everything from its director, producers, script, music, photography, cast, duration, to its distribution.

In his almost four hundred pages achieves hook the reader from beginning to end with anecdotes, for many, unknown from his main films. And, as everyone should do, he does not hesitate to capture the bibliography which has led him to use as a source almost a ten paper booksbut also pages specialized websites At the cinema. There is no lack of photographs of each of the posters of the films that it refers to.

Surely the edited copies, little more than a hundredwill be insufficient to meet the needs of movie fans in the city who are growing by the minute thanks, among others, to proposals as interesting as the ones he does every season Cineclub Paradiso.
