JOSEP PLA y EL CATALÁN/ JOSEP PLA and THE CATALAN - A FONDO/ IN DEPTH - ENGLISH SUB./SUB.CASTELLANO

INFORMATIVE EDITION focused on JOSEP PLA's relationship with the language (he considers himself TRILINGUAL) in which he felt most secure: CATALAN. JOSEP PLA - December 8, 1976 - B / W - 80 minutes On December 8, 1976, Josep Pla (1897-1981) granted Joaquín Soler Serrano an exceptional interview for the series A FONDO. He had three months to go until he was eighty years old, and for eighty minutes they talked about everything, or almost everything, allowing us to get closer, as in no other document, to his personality, with controversial and forceful statements: «I smoke to look for adjectives ... I have no envy and that is why I am relatively happy ... I am a trickster and a constant talker ... The irony is the impossibility of saying something ... The Spanish language is a long phrase that he ends up in a fishtail ... I drink whiskey constantly ... Spaniards are historically unsatisfied ... I think that the man who reads novels from the age of thirty-five is a cretin ... The most characteristic feature of Pla : the ignorance".
