From the surrealist films of Luis Bunuel to the colourful
melodramas of Pedro Almodovar, Spain has produced a wealth of
exciting and distinctive film-makers who have consistently provided
a condoning or dissenting eye on Spanish history and culture. For
modern cinema-goers, it has often been the sexually-charged and
colourful nature of many contemporary Spanish films, which has made
them popular world-wide and led directors and stars such as
Almodovar, Banderas and Penelope Cruz to be welcomed by Hollywood.
Using original interview material with Spanish Cinema luminaries
such as Carlos Saura, Julio Medem, Imanol Uribe and Elias
Querejeta, Rob Stone charts a history of Spanish Cinema throughout
the turbulent Francoist years and beyond. The book aims to provide
a broad introduction to Spanish Cinema, the nine chapters divided
into four types: chapters on Spanish Cinema during the Dictatorship
and following the transition to democracy survey current debate and
opinion while tracing the development of themes and film movements
throughout those periods. chapters on early Spanish cinema and
Basque cinema present vital and fascinating aspects of Spanish
cinema that have previously been ignored chapters on childhood in
Spanish cinema, and sex and the new star system offer new pathways
into the study of Spanish cinema chapters on Carlos Saura, Elias
Querejeta and Julio Medem offer specific case studies of
film-makers who are emblematic of different periods in Spanish
cinema and, indeed, Spanish history As with other titles in the
Inside Film series, the book is comprehensively illustrated with
representative stills and has a thorough bibliography, index and
list of resources.
