A survey of Spanish cinema over the past century. As with Italian neorealism and the French nouvelle vague, Spanish cinema developed distinctive style and content from the 1930s to the 1970s. However, Spanish film evolved largely without reference to its international counterparts, isolated as it was by the repressions and censorship of Franco's regime. Through a series of close readings of films made in the Republican period, under Franco, in transition, and more recently under socialism, these contributors seek to present a clearer picture of the range and depth of Spanish national cinema. "This is a coherently organized and wide-ranging volume of essays on some of the most important landmarks of Spanish film history. Drawn from both sides of the Atlantic, the contributors include some of the most well-known scholars working in this area. This is another excellent volume on Spanish cinema, full of scholarship and insight." —Bulletin of Hispanic Studies "A worthwhile addition to any serious collection on film from Spain" —Espana Contemporanea Contributors: Stacy N.
