World Film Locations: Madrid is a trip through the urban space
conceived as film location. The premise is that these locations
must have been protagonist of films shot in Madrid since the silent
era to the present. Madrid is the film capital of the Hispanic
World from the standpoint of production. Being also one of the most
visited cities in the world, this book tries to discover its most
imaginative side for the visitor who dares to take this journey.
But it is a tour that is not covered in the guidebooks. The
different suggestions are explained in a series of essays written
by experts, which analyses the role that the city plays in the
stories filmed in Madrid. This is a city of contrasts where lives
high culture (the best universities, the Museo del Prado, etc.),
with the most popular and sparkling nightlife that began with La
Movida and Almodovar. These essays account for this life contrast,
addressing from the corralas (popular architecture) in Egdar
Neville's films, to the underground cinema of Ivan Zulueta.
Madrid's spaces and their films are visually discussed as well
through 44 microanalysis of sequences, whose selection criteria has
been its importance in the plot and its ability to represent the
true spirit of the city, rather than its tourist attractive. Casual
visitors or permanent inhabitants, and general lovers of Spanish
culture in a broad sense, will find in these pages reasons to
wander through Madrid's films and streets.
