Riassunto:

How did the Franco dictatorship and subsequent transition to democracy impact upon Spanish film-making? What is meant by nuevo cine espanol or espanolada? How do you say "close-up" or "tracking shot" in Spanish? What sort of critical methods and tools can we apply to study Spanish cinema and what resources are available to us? This book answers these and many more questions, providing crucial information and examples of analysis normally found in separate volumes. This book will be an indispensable resource for students and teachers of Spanish cinema.
