Howard Hawks, San Sebastián 1972

About This Movie

So, this one - ‘Howard Hawks, San Sebastián 1972’ - is a documentary that captures a moment in time. Hawks, the legendary director, shows up at the festival, and you can feel the buzz, the anticipation. The two Madrid film buffs, Jesús and José Luis, are just eager kids, really - they want to connect, but it's not easy. The atmosphere is a mix of reverence and that awkwardness you get when meeting a giant. The pacing feels almost nostalgic, like watching the golden age of cinema through a lens of longing. It’s fascinating how they dig up that unpolished charm, the unfiltered conversation. Not your standard interview piece, it’s more about the experience, the ideas floating around than just the man alone.
