Berlanga. Vida y cine de un creador irreverente is a biography written by Miguel Ángel Villena that delves deeply into the life and work of Spanish filmmaker Luis García-Berlanga. Known for iconic films such as Bienvenido, Mister Marshall, Plácido, and El verdugo, Berlanga was celebrated for his ability to depict Spanish picaresque with a blend of grotesque and ironic tenderness. His cinema opened a unique path of social criticism, leading to the term "berlanguiano". This work, awarded the XXXIII Comillas Prize in 2021, provides a comprehensive view of the vital and artistic facets of a creator essential to understanding the second half of the 20th century in Spain.
