| Description: |
Spanish Popular Cinema is the first European language work to focus exclusively on this neglected aspect of Spain's film history. Moving from the 1930s to the present, the contributors to this book provide a diverse collection of essays that reassess some of the forgotten and critically overlooked works of Spanish popular cinema. -- . |
| Synopsis: |
This is the first collection in English to focus exclusively on the various forms of popular film produced in Spain and to acknowledge the variety, range and depth of Spanish cinema.Contributors from across Hispanic, media and cultural studies explore a range of genres, from the musicals of the 1930s and 1940s to contemporary horror movies, historical epics of the 1940s and 1950s and contemporary representations of the Spanish Civil War. The book includes reappraisals of key popular directors such as Luis Garcia Berlanga and Antonio Mercero as well as critical analyses of celebrated stars like Marisol. It provides innovative consideration of the promotion and reception of horror in the 1960s, recollections of cinema-going in Madrid, and reflections on successful recent works such as 'Abre los Ojos' and 'Solas'.The contributors offer a range of critical and methodological perspectives, opening up new ways of analysing Spanish popular film. -- . |
