Spanish film as a cultural institution is rarely divorced from the political and social currents that have shaped the larger Spanish culture torn as it was between tendencies of localism and internationalism. It languished in industrial and artistic underdevelopment for many years under Franco; it is now, however, experiencing international recognition while remaining rooted in the specificity of its own popular cultural styles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marvin D'Lugo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313294747\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313294747\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Greenwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/25\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.52h x 6.48w x 1.14d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/1998 pg. 1804\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAmerican Reference Bks Annual\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/1999 pg. 514","brand":"Marvin D'Lugo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46962492178687,"sku":"9780313294747","price":83.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_79f991f2-6f9d-4835-a2e8-ee1d700b79ef.jpg?v=1750651609","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/guide-to-the-cinema-of-marvin-dlugo-9780313294747","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
