Barcelona is one of the world's most beautiful cities. A permanent
showcase of the work of acclaimed architect Antoni Gaudi, it also
has a long and rich cinematic legacy. Great directors from all over
the world--among them Woody Allen, Pedro Almodovar, and
Michelangelo Antonioni--have set their films there. "World Film
Locations: Barcelona "is the first book of its kind to explore the
rich cinematic history of this seductive Catalonian city.
The illuminating essays collected here cover essential themes of
the city's cinematic history, including the origins of cinema in
Barcelona; the role of Ciutat Vella (old quarter) as a film set;
the influential Barcelona School of the 1960s; the film presence of
Gaudi and his work; changing attitudes and urban renewal before and
after the 1992 Olympics; and the emergence of a new generation of
female filmmakers that have made Barcelona the center of their
cinematic explorations. This book will be a welcome addition to the
libraries of anyone enchanted by the beauty of Barcelona, whether
in person on the big screen.
