Performance and Spanish film is the first book to provide a
detailed study of screen acting in Spanish film. With fifteen
original essays by leading scholars of Spanish film, the book casts
light on the manifold meanings, methods and influences of Spanish
screen performance, from the silent era to the present day. In
doing so, the book provides bold new readings of the work of
significant Spanish actors and filmmakers, from Javier Bardem,
Penelope Cruz and Alfredo Landa, to Pedro Almodovar, Carlos Saura
and Alejandro Amenabar. The fine-grained study of acting in each
chapter also provides a means of exploring broader questions
surrounding Spanish film practices, culture and society.
Performance and Spanish film will be essential reading for both
students and scholars of Spanish film alike, as well as to those
more broadly interested in the history of screen acting. 'For
enthusiasts of Spanish cinema and anyone bewitched by screen
acting, this is a dream book. The editors bring together some of
the most exciting and imaginative experts on Spanish Cinema writing
in English today, as well as presenting a substantial and brilliant
introduction to the topic. Each chapter has its own compelling
revelations, whether by way of fine-grained analysis or wide new
conceptual framings, whether on single named actors, particular
films, modes of training, or successive new ways of making films.'
Chris Perriam, Professor of Hispanic Studies, the University of
Manchester -- .
