Overview
«La obra singular de Guillermo del Toro lo ha convertido en un cineasta clave de fin del siglo pasado y principios del presente.» −Del prólogo de Felipe Cazals
En una amena conversación informal junto a su amigo Leonardo García Tsao, crítico de cine con una larga trayectoria, Guillermo del Toro recorre en estas páginas sus tempranas influencias, sus inquetudes infantiles y sus primeras aventuras creativas en Guadalajara; una historia de pasión juvenil que da paso a una de las carrreras cinematográficas más celebradas de nuestro tiempo. Desde la odisea que significó la filmación del cortometraje Doña Lupe, para la que él mismo tuvo que conducir, cargar y descargar el camión con el equipo de filmación, hasta la universal celebración de su más reciente filme, La forma del agua, somos testigos de la lucha, los obstáculos las alegrías y los obsesivos métodos de trabajo que hacen de Guillermo del Toro una de las mentes más singularmente auténticas del cine internacional, y somos recompensados con las pistas definitivas que unifican el imaginario de su universo fílmico.
