Cine O Sardina

Description

Although this collection of articles is a journey through the main genres of cinema that reflects upon characters, films, and producers who have left a deep mark in history, Guillermo Cabrera Infante is in fact its absolute protagonist. The author describes the importance of cinema in his life with the anecdote that gives this book its title: "In my town, when we were kids, my mother would asked my brother and I if we preferred to go to the cinema or to eat with a festive phrase: Cinema or sardines? We never chose sardines". Description in Spanish: Aunque esta colecci?n de art?culos se presenta como un recorrido por los principales g?neros del cine y por las biograf?as de carism?ticos directores, galanes de ensue?o, bailarines geniales o peligrosas vampiresas, Guillermo Cabrera Infante es en realidad su protagonista absoluto. El erudito escritor combina con un estilo inconfundible episodios autobiogr?ficos con sus preferencias como espectador.
