The war that won't die charts the changing nature of cinematic
depictions of the Spanish Civil War. In 1936, a significant number
of artists, filmmakers and writers - from George Orwell and Pablo
Picasso to Joris Ivens and Joan Miro - rallied to support the
country's democratically-elected Republican government. The arts
have played an important role in shaping popular understandings of
the Spanish Civil War and this book examines the specific role
cinema has played in this process. The book's focus is on fictional
feature films produced within Spain and beyond its borders between
the 1940s and the early years of the twenty-first century -
including Hollywood blockbusters, East European films, the work of
the avant garde in Paris and films produced under Franco's
censorial dictatorship. The book will appeal to scholars and
students of Film, Media and Hispanic Studies, but also to
historians and, indeed, anyone interested in why the Spanish Civil
War remains such a contested political topic. -- .
