“This is an excellent study of the work of three important 'Spanish' directors that effectively highlights the range of theoretical tools available to us in our reading of film and the difficulty of defining a body of national cinema. The chapters on each director are impressive…This is fascinating, original, work.”  ·  Jo Evans, University College London
