Recenzii

Nuria Triana Toribio's thorough biopsy of the Spanish Film Academy provides a lucid diagnosis of the condition of contemporary Spanish cinema and will enable vivid, challenging debate. Fascinating and hugely informative, this bracing book treats Spanish film cultures, both flowering and festering, as integral to the idea of Spanish cinema and is essential reading for anyone wanting to understand all the strategies that affect filmmaking in Spain.
Spanish Film Cultures is a rigorous, groundbreaking and excellently written study of how the Spanish Academia has shaped the idea of Spanish cinema.
Spanish Film Cultures broadens and enriches current film studies about Spain. Instead of analyzing films as aesthetic objects or social tools of cultural production, Dr. Nuria Triana Toribio shows the ways that films fit into a larger sociopolitical landscape in the service of nationalism and cultural hegemony.
