    Synopsis

    Gonzalo Garcia Pelayo is a filmmaker very difficult to describe and though his lifetime adventures are of extreme bravery (last time he defined himself as “professional player and filmmaker”), they are of fundamental importance to understand his work cut uneven. His films, especially Vivir en Sevilla, are both as experiential in bedrooms and streets (Eustache, Garrel) as cultural playful (Godard), yet profoundly Andalusian (almost gypsy) rooted, what separates him from any suspicion of being a frenchified director (Miguel Angel Iglesias, GGP’s usual doublet screen has all the hair on his chest that Belmondo lacks). His geographies are those periods of rest of his heroes: encounters among epic characters of post-Franco Seville, their moments of sexual intimacy, and above all pure love and torn up until the discharge of semen into women (“Son, all that matters is love” explains a moved father to his firstborn as they stroll along Triana). Packed with dozens of visual and narrative ideas, Vivir en Sevilla is one of the forgotten masterpieces of Spanish cinema.
