Alex de la Iglesia, initially championed by Pedro Almodovar, and at
one time the enfant terrible of Spanish film, still makes film
critics nervous. The director of some of the most important films
of the Post-Franco era - Accion mutante, El dia de la bestia,
Muertos de risa - receives here the first full length study of his
work. Breaking away from the pious tradition of acclaiming
art-house auteurs, The cinema of Alex de la Iglesia tackles a new
sort of beast: the popular auteur, who brings the provocation of
the avant-garde to popular genres such as horror and comedy. This
book brings together Anglo-American film theory, an exploration of
the legal and economic history of Spanish audio-visual culture, a
comprehensive knowledge of Spanish cultural forms and traditions
(esperpento, sainete costumbrista) with a detailed textual analysis
of all of Alex de la Iglesia's seven feature films. -- .
