Beskrivning

Spanish cinema is emerging as one of the most exciting, fascinating, and special cinemas in the world. Not only are others viewing Spanish films, but they are adopting Spanish producers and Spanish actors as their own. While Spanish cinema has been maturing for a long time and has been producing excellent directors, actors, and films for decades—including during the dark times of the Franco regime—only now is it winning numerous fans not only at home but also abroad. And with directors like Pedro Almodóvar, actors and actresses like Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz, and films such as Abre los ojos and Alatriste to build upon, the outlook for Spanish Cinema appears brighter than ever.The Historical Dictionary of Spanish Cinema provides a better understanding of the role Spanish cinema has played in film history through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on producers, directors, film companies, actors, and films.

Recensioner i media

Mira (Oxford Brookes Univ., UK) has produced a timely and detailed reference guide to the cinema of Spain. Beginning with a chronology that encompasses a brief overview of events in Spanish history and major film releases and prizes, the introduction expands on the development of Spanish cinema by period, covering 1896 to 2008. The main body of the work, however, is the extensive dictionary, which presents key Spanish film titles, actors, institutes, and directors....The book's final section—the bibliography—will prove to be extremely useful for students and librarians alike as it organizes comprehensive Spanish and English language criticism and resources by time period, Spanish region, and major directors and actors....Recommended
