This June we have been celebrating the centenary of Luis García Berlanga’s birth, one of the great filmmakers of Spanish cinema.

In our library, you can borrow some of his most iconic DVD movies such as «Placido», «El verdugo» and «Bienvenido Mister Marshall», among others, and some books about him.

In 1980, Luis García Berlanga was interviewed  in the TV programme A fondo:

We also recommend the consultation of Digitalia database – for users with a library card – where his name is mention in 140 books on Spanish cinema:
