This is the first collection in English to focus exclusively on the
various forms of popular film produced in Spain and to acknowledge
the variety, range and depth of Spanish cinema. Contributors from
across Hispanic, media and cultural studies explore a range of
genres, from the musicals of the 1930s and 1940s to contemporary
horror movies, historical epics of the 1940s and 1950s and
contemporary representations of the Spanish Civil War. The book
includes reappraisals of key popular directors such as Luis Garcia
Berlanga and Antonio Mercero as well as critical analyses of
celebrated stars like Marisol. It provides innovative consideration
of the promotion and reception of horror in the 1960s,
recollections of cinema-going in Madrid, and reflections on
successful recent works such as 'Abre los Ojos' and 'Solas'. The
contributors offer a range of critical and methodological
perspectives, opening up new ways of analysing Spanish popular
film. -- .
