Spanish Cinema by Rob Stone
From the surrealist films of Luis Buñuel to the colourful melodramas of Pedro Almodóvar, 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 Almodóvar, Banderas and Penélope Cruz to be welcomed by Hollywood. Using original interview material with Spanish Cinema luminaries such as Carlos Saura, Julio Medem, Imanol Uribe and Elías 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.
Rob Stone's 'Spanish Cinema' is a treasure trove of aficionados and novices alikeIt leaves you impatient to seek out hundreds of rare gems and revisit many more familiar classics from Almodovar to Saura, Bunuel to Medem. Stone has plenty to say about Spanish history and society too. Artists and critics, pleasure and politics: it's all there in the mix. Tom Charity, Time Out
