The Cinema of Pedro AlmodoVar by Ana Sanchezarce
A comprehensive, historically informed study of the art and politics of Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodovar, showing how Almodovar's films draw on various national cinemas and film genres, including Spanish cinema of the dictatorship, European art cinema, Hollywood melodrama and film noir. -- .'Sánchez-Arce adds significantly to understanding of Almodóvar with these insightful close readings of his features—readings that employ a methodology blending feminism and formalism while situating the films in appropriate sociopolitical and historical contexts'
CHOICE
‘The cinema of Pedro Almodóvar successfully manages the difficult task of finding new things to say about an auteur who has been widely written about and studied.’
Dolores Tierney, Studies in Spanish and Latin American Cinemas
“The cinema of Pedro Almodovar” is an intelligent, thoroughly researched study of all the films up to “Dolor y Gloria” (Pain and Glory, 2019), showing them to be nuanced and political reflections on a reckoning with Franco.' The Prisma
