This book offers a comprehensive film-by-film analysis of Spain's
most famous living director, Pedro Almodovar. It shows how
Almodovar's films draw on various national cinemas and genres,
including Spanish cinema of the dictatorship, European art cinema,
Hollywood melodrama and film noir. It also argues that Almodovar's
work is a form of social critique, his films consistently engaging
with and challenging stereotypes about traditional and contemporary
Spain in order to address Spain's traumatic historical past and how
it continues to inform the present. Drawing on scholarship in both
English and Spanish, the book will be of interest to undergraduate
and postgraduate students of film studies and Hispanic studies,
scholars of contemporary cinema and general readers with a passion
for the films of Pedro Almodovar. -- .
