The Goalkeeper (Spanish: El portero) [1] is a 2000 Spanish drama film directed by Gonzalo Suárez which stars Carmelo Gómez as the title character alongside Maribel Verdú and Antonio Resines.
The plot follows the mishaps of Ramiro Forteza, a goalie arriving to an Asturian village in 1948, coming to acquaint both with the Guardia Civil and the Maquis. [2] [3]
The screenplay was penned by Gonzalo Suárez alongside Manuel Hidalgo , based on an original story by Hidalgo. [6]
The film was produced by Andrés Vicente Gómez's Lolafilms, and it had the participation of TVE and Vía Digital . [6] Set to start filming, Suárez announced his film to be primarily a western ("although it will also have that perverse mix of genres that I like so much"). [7] It was shot around Llanes, Asturias, including the beaches of Toró , Barru and Borizu . [8]
Distributed by Lolafilms Distribución, [6] the film was theatrically released in Spain on 8 September 2000. [5]
Jonathan Holland of Variety deemed the film to be "an accomplished, surprisingly low-key historical piece", with "a strong, high-profile cast of solid pros" breathing "convincing life into a delicate, resonant and surprisingly contemporary little parable", otherwise with the director's "tendency toward the histrionic" being "kept under control".
