From the surrealist films of Luis Bu\u00F1uel to the colourful melodramas of Pedro Almod\u00F3var, Spain has produced a wealth of exciting and distinctive film-makers who have consistently provided a condoning or dissenting eye on Spanish history and culture. For modern cinema-goers, it has often been the sexually-charged and colourful nature of many contemporary Spanish films, which has made them popular world-wide and led directors and stars such as Almod\u00F3var, Banderas and Pen\u00E9lope Cruz to be welcomed by Hollywood. Using original interview material with Spanish Cinema luminaries such as Carlos Saura, Julio Medem, Imanol Uribe and El\u00EDas Querejeta, Rob Stone charts a history of Spanish Cinema throughout the turbulent Francoist years and beyond. The book aims to provide a broad introduction to Spanish Cinema. > \nFrom the surrealist films of Luis Bu\u00F1uel to the colourful melodramas of Pedro Almod\u00F3var, Spain has produced a wealth of exciting and distinc.
