| book description |

Ãlex de la Iglesia, initially championed by Pedro AlmodÃ³var, and at one time the enfant terrible of Spanish film, still makes film critics nervous. The director of some of the most important films of the Post-Franco era â€“ AcciÃ³n mutante, El dÃa de la bestia, Muertos de risa â€“ receives here the first full length study of his work. Breaking away from the pious tradition of acclaiming art-house auteurs, The cinema of Ãlex 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. This 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 Ãlex de la Iglesiaâ€™s seven feature films. -- .
