Saura's movies are frequently ambiguous, sometimes controversial, and always narratively complex. In many of his films, such as \u003ci\u003eCría\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eGoya in Bordeaux\u003c\/i\u003e, he creates sophisticated expressions of time and space by fusing reality with fantasy, past with present, and memory with hallucination. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eCarlos Saura: Interviews\u003c\/i\u003e collects interviews the filmmaker has given in Spain, France, Germany, and Canada. All of the conversations appear here in English for the first time, and, as such, they represent a treasure trove of comments by Saura on his own work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Covering the entire spectrum of his career, including his latest film \u003ci\u003eBuñuel and King Solomon's Table\u003c\/i\u003e, the interviews discuss his early contributions to the New Spanish Cinema, his documentaries and documentary-like urban films, his cinematic essays on historical figures, his dance films, his adaptations of literary and theatrical works, and the films rooted in his personal reminiscences of the Spanish Civil War. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In addition, the collection touches upon Saura's efforts as a photographer, opera director, and novelist and explores his friendship with filmmaker Luis Buñuel. These interviews disclose Saura's amazingly consistent approach to his cinema, his role as an auteur, and the principles on which his creativity and intuition continue to build in innovative ways.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Linda M.
