The director of some of the most important films of the Post-Franco era - Acci mutante, El d僘 de la bestia, Muertos de risa - receives here the first full length study of his work. Breaking away from the pious tradition of acclaiming art-house auteurs, The cinema of ﾁlex de la Iglesia tackles a new sort of beast: the popular auteur, who brings the provocation of the avant-garde to popular genres such as horror and comedy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book brings together Anglo-American film theory, an exploration of the legal and economic history of Spanish audio-visual culture, a comprehensive knowledge of Spanish cultural forms and traditions (esperpento, sainete costumbrista) with a detailed textual analysis of all of ﾁlex de la Iglesia's seven feature films.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andy Willis, Nuria Triana-Toribio, Peter Buse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0719071372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719071379\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.47d","brand":"Andy Willis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120111448319,"sku":"9780719071379","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_26260d16-657f-4213-9fa6-780ed86cc8de.jpg?v=1687412614","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cinema-of-lex-de-andy-willis-9780719071379","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
