Opis

From the surrealist films of Luis Bunuel to the colourful melodramas of Pedro Almodovar, Spain has produced a condoning or dissenting eye on Spanish history and culture. For modern cinema-goers, it has often been the secually-charged and colourful nature of many contemporary Spanish films, which has made them popular world-wide and led directors and stars such as Almodovar, Banderas and Penelope Cruz to be welcomed by Hollywood.
