Description de l'ouvrage:
This book offers a comprehensive film-by-film analysis of Spain's most famous living director, Pedro Almodóvar. It shows how Almodóvar's films draw on various national cinemas and genres, including Spanish cinema of the dictatorship, European art cinema, Hollywood melodrama and film noir. It also argues that Almodóvar's work is a form of social critique, his films consistently engaging with and challenging stereotypes about traditional and contemporary Spain in order to address Spain's traumatic historical past and how it continues to inform the present. Drawing on scholarship in both English and Spanish, the book will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students of film studies and Hispanic studies, scholars of contemporary cinema and general readers with a passion for the films of Pedro Almodóvar.

Revue de Presse:
'Sánchez-Arce adds significantly to understanding of Almodóvar with these insightful close readings of his features-readings that employ a methodology blending feminism and formalism while situating the films in appropriate sociopolitical and historical contexts.'
CHOICE

'The cinema of Pedro Almodóvar successfully manages the difficult task of finding new things to say about an auteur who has been widely written about and studied.'
Dolores Tierney, Studies in Spanish and Latin American Cinemas

"The cinema of Pedro Almodovar" is an intelligent, thoroughly researched study of all the films up to "Dolor y Gloria" (Pain and Glory, 2019), showing them to be nuanced and political reflections on a reckoning with Franco.' The Prisma
