Opis

A nation is nothing without the stories it tells about itself. In Spanish National Cinema, Triana-Toribio studies some of the stories told through film, as well as the demands made on Spanish cinema to provide new stories to contribute to the formation of the nation. She also examines the changing national qualities of Spanish cinema, such as the Spanishness of its filmmakers, while taking issue with studies of national cinemas that focus on important moments.

Recenzje

'As a study of both Hispanic film and culture, the insightful findings yeild much valuable historical and theoretical information.'- Film Review

'A milestone in academic writing on Spanish film. It combines a keen awareness of debates around national identity within Anglo-American academic writing, with the historical perspective of much writing on film in Spain' - Mark Allison, Royal Holloway, University of London
