Beschreibung

Perhaps the best-known Spanish filmmaker to international audiences, Pedro Almodóvar gained the widespread attention of English-speaking critics and fans with the Oscar-nominated <i>Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown</i> and the celebrated dark comedy <i>Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!</i>. <p>Marvin D'Lugo offers a concise, informed, and insightful commentary on a preeminent force in modern cinema. D'Lugo follows Almodóvar's career chronologically, tracing the director's works and their increasing complexity in terms of theme and the Spanish film tradition. Drawing on a wide range of critical sources, D'Lugo explores Almodóvar's use of melodrama and Hollywood genre film, his self-invention as a filmmaker, and his on-screen sexual politics. D'Lugo also discusses what he calls "geocultural positioning," that is, Almodóvar's paradoxical ability to use his marginal positions-in terms of his class, geographical origin, and identity-to develop an expressive language that is emotionally recognizable by audiences worldwide. Two fascinating interviews with the director round out the volume.</p> <p>An exciting consideration of an arthouse giant, <i>Pedro Almodóvar</i> mixes original interpretations into an analysis sure to reward film students and specialists alike.</p>
