The great kingpin of Spanish cinema who got fed up with wildlife and today is a tarot 'coach': "I was a folk exhibitionist forced to go out every day, to drink, to take drugs". His obsession with Gran Vía, if anything the most cinematic street in Spain, was like a prophecy that would mark him from a very young age.

He directed Amadís, an art hall that was the spearhead of modernity, and worked on the radio program CS y bon voyage.
