Thus, to underline that he was ahead of his time and would probably not be understood at the time but much later, he wrote: \u00abSome are born posthumously\u00bb. The Spanish writer Francisco Umbral, himself the victim of a similar fate, would no doubt have shared this Nietzschean postulate. With over 110 published works and 135,000 press articles to his name, he is one of Spain's most prolific contemporary writers. But, strangely enough, outside Spain (and still), he is a relatively unknown writer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>After a long literary career, and winner of numerous awards (Prix Nadal, Prix Cervant\u00e8s...), the author passed away in 2007. As for his work, it has scarcely been translated into French, and Spanish-speaking specialists are not lining up at the door... But, as the saying goes, \u00abevery cloud has a silver lining\u00bb. Last October, at the sixty-fifth Valladolid International Film Festival, the documentary <em>Anatom\u00eda de un Dandy<\/em>, directed by Charlie Arnaiz and Alberto Ortega. Currently showing in Spanish cinemas, this feature-length film looks back at Francisco Umbral's career, and gives the floor to journalists, experts on his work, those who worked with him and... Umbral himself, to deconstruct the myth. Umbral created a literary persona for himself; he was a dandy who always dressed elegantly and, in the media, gave vent to his narcissistic tendencies. And then, when he arrived in Madrid, he adopted a new identity, renouncing his birth name (Francisco Perez Martinez) and becoming \u00abPaco Umbral\u00bb. In short, Umbral was a strange cross between Huysmans and Houellebecq who seduced his audience not only with his talent, but also with his image. And it's this image that the documentary's contributors seek to deconstruct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"2116\" src=\"http:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Umbral_nb.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Umbral_nb.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Umbral_nb-213x300.jpg 213w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Umbral_nb-726x1024.jpg 726w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Umbral_nb-106x150.jpg 106w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Umbral_nb-768x1083.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Umbral_nb-1170x1650.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Umbral_nb-585x825.jpg 585w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Umbral_nb-300x423.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Umbral_nb-600x846.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A dandy's life and archives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The feature film is divided into seven chapters, each titled after one of the writer's works. For example, the first chapter is entitled <em>La noche qu\u00e9 llegu\u00e9 al Caf\u00e9 Gij\u00f3n<\/em> (The Night I Arrived at Caf\u00e9 Gij\u00f3n), recounting Umbral's arrival - at the age of 29 - in Madrid at the legendary Caf\u00e9 Gij\u00f3n, a literary institution in Madrid in the 60s. Umbral's literary work is rooted in his own life. From his relationship with his mother (<em>El hijo de Greta Garbo<\/em>\/Greta Garbo's Son) to the loss of his beloved son (<em>Mortal y rosa<\/em>\/Mortel et rose), the man declared that \u2019in recounting my life, I recount that of others\u00ab.

For example, in the third section entitled <em>Mortal y rosa<\/em>, Umbral's drawings and audio fragments, in which he does everything in his power to ease his son's pain, were recovered from the archives. With his drawings and storytelling skills, the father tells his dying son a story about a robot exploring space. A touching moment that sees an audible physical change: the public figure's voice is replaced by that of a father, quite different from the one heard in the media... Indeed, most of his compatriots know him for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wU8T-TytjW4\">his famous scandalous sequence on a television show<\/a> in which he declared, \u00abI've come here to talk about my book\u00bb, which, according to some of the voices in the documentary, such as journalist Rosa Montero, has done a great deal of damage to his work...<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The columnist, the prizewinner and the thug<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the feature film, various contributors such as Pedro J. Ram\u00edrez, founder of the Spanish newspaper <em>El Mundo <\/em>(and former boss of Umbral), or rock singer Ramonc\u00edn, underline the late writer's ability to capture the times in his texts. In addition to these rather laudatory voices, other more critical opinions, such as that of professor B\u00e9n\u00e9dicte de Buron-Brun, expose the \u00abliterary marketing\u00bb strategy employed by Umbral to place himself in this line of dandy writers. His consecration? In 2000, he won the prestigious Prix Cervant\u00e8s (the equivalent of the Nobel Prize for a Spanish-language writer). It was the revenge of this literary autodidact, the son of a single mother, against the proponents of \u00abgreat literature\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"http:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Anatomi\u0301a-de-un-Dandy_3_Be\u0301ne\u0301dicte-de-Buron-Brun.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Anatomi\u0301a-de-un-Dandy_3_Be\u0301ne\u0301dicte-de-Buron-Brun.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Anatomi\u0301a-de-un-Dandy_3_Be\u0301ne\u0301dicte-de-Buron-Brun-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Anatomi\u0301a-de-un-Dandy_3_Be\u0301ne\u0301dicte-de-Buron-Brun-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Anatomi\u0301a-de-un-Dandy_3_Be\u0301ne\u0301dicte-de-Buron-Brun-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Anatomi\u0301a-de-un-Dandy_3_Be\u0301ne\u0301dicte-de-Buron-Brun-1170x658.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Anatomi\u0301a-de-un-Dandy_3_Be\u0301ne\u0301dicte-de-Buron-Brun-585x329.jpg 585w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Anatomi\u0301a-de-un-Dandy_3_Be\u0301ne\u0301dicte-de-Buron-Brun-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Anatomi\u0301a-de-un-Dandy_3_Be\u0301ne\u0301dicte-de-Buron-Brun-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In one hour and thirty minutes, <em>Anatom\u00eda de un Dandy <\/em>provides an insight into the author's multi-faceted world, particularly as a writer and journalist.

His short social texts, often corrosive and implacable towards the people he denounced (he used to put their names in bold in his columns, the famous \u00abnegritas de Umbral\u00bb), made him the barometer of Spanish society in the last three decades of the twentieth century.<sup>th<\/sup> century. Some even credit him with inventing the term <em>movida<\/em>...
