My adored Monster', a fun, endearing and very bizarre documentary about passion from the hidden side of cinema

 Víctor Matellano gives us with his new documentary, ' My adored Monster ', a precious journey around the figure of Arturo De Bobadilla, director of ' The werewolf against the Templars (The resurrected ones) ', a dreamer who took a quarter of a century to finish his ambitious first film.

Live, monster, live!

Matellano, veteran archaeologist of the most fanciful European horror and responsible for the very interesting 'Regresa el Cepa' or 'Claws! A journey through Spanish horror ', presents his best work with an affectionate and elaborate toy in the form of a documentary feature film , as real as life itself and as fanciful as the cinema.

Arturo De Bobadilla launched his debut feature, 'The werewolf against the Templars (The resurrected ones)', when a certain Álex de la Iglesia was starting ' The day of the beast '. I don't know if it sounds familiar to you. That debut feature would take 25 years to complete , although no one is entirely sure if that had to happen. Probably not the director himself, a guy who perhaps preferred to always have that nail to hold onto for almost half his life.

Although instead of nails here are the monsters that haunt us all that, in some way, allow us to hold on to our own sanity. Without them, without their company, we may be too alone. That is why this moving portrait between fiction and documentary is so gratifying, with which the filmmaker takes a giant leap.

Based on an idea by Matellano and with the help of the script by Manuel Tallafé, 'My adored Monster' tells of Bobadilla's odyssey through anecdotes and illustrious guests who either were on the set or have suffered the consequences of seeing the film. film. But far from what you might think, everything is treated with love and respect, which makes the time especially pleasant. Respectful hooliganism full of familiar faces and really funny anecdotes for Euroterror fans .

" I was very clear about where it began and where it ended, but for the rest we let ourselves go, as Fellini said. It is a film that has been built on the fly, it has practically been written in montage, in continuous dialogue with the process. Post-production has been very long . "
