Spanish Meta-Art and Contemporary Cinema
Bloomsbury Publishing USA (Verlag)
979-8-7651-0139-1 (ISBN)
Framed around critical readings of Miguel de Cervantes’ Don Quixote, Diego Velázquez’ Las meninas and Luis Buñuel’s Un chien andalou, this book examines contemporary films by Víctor Erice, Carlos Saura, Bigas Luna, Alejandro Amenábar, Lucrecia Martel, Krzysztof Kieslowski, David Lynch, Pedro Almodóvar, Spike Jonze, Andrzej Zulawski, Fernando Pérez, Alfred Hitchcock, Wes Craven and David Cronenberg to illustrate how self-reflexivity in film unbridles the mental repression of film spectators. It proposes cinema as an uncanny duplication of the workings of the brain – a doppelgänger to human thought.
Guillermo Rodríguez-Romaguera is Assistant Professor of Cinema and Television Arts at California State University-Northridge, USA. He is a narrative filmmaker and film scholar from San Juan, Puerto Rico.
