The Hidden Pleasure of Spanish Cinema\u003c\/em\u003e brings us closer to the vibrant and complex career of one of the \u003cstrong\u003emost important directors of the Transition\u003c\/strong\u003e, responsible for popular titles such as \u003cem\u003eEl techo de cristal\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eLa semana del asesino\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eEl diputado\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eEl pico\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eLa estanquera de Vallecas\u003c\/em\u003e. Viewed with disdain by the critics of the time, who did not forgive his commercial ambition, and \u003cstrong\u003ereclaimed by new generations\u003c\/strong\u003e, the figure of \u003cstrong\u003eEloy de la Iglesia\u003c\/strong\u003e is essential to understanding one of the most turbulent stages of our recent history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003ecollective essay\u003c\/strong\u003e, coordinated by \u003cstrong\u003eCarlos Barea\u003c\/strong\u003e, delves into the various aspects that converge in the films of the Basque filmmaker, where the \u003cstrong\u003ewillingness to provoke\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003erawest eroticism\u003c\/strong\u003e coexist with the intention to realistically show the \u003cstrong\u003epolitical ups and downs\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003esocial transformations\u003c\/strong\u003e. His extensive filmography featured the stars of the moment (Carmen Sevilla, Amparo Muñoz, Simón Andreu, Vicente Parra, or José Sacristán, among others) and new talents with no experience in front of the camera (such as José Luis Manzano, his favorite actor).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHomosexual and communist, Eloy de la Iglesia decisively contributed to portraying the lights and, above all, the shadows of a country awakening to democracy but turning its back on part of the population. Among the marginalized were the so-called \u003cstrong\u003equinquis\u003c\/strong\u003e, who gave their name to the successful cinematic subgenre, and members of the \u003cstrong\u003eLGTB collective\u003c\/strong\u003e, to whom he gave a voice that had been silenced until then.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthors\u003c\/strong\u003e: Diana Aller | Alejandro Melero | Juan Sánchez | Eduardo Bravo | La Caneli | Nicolás Grijalba de la Calle | David Velduque | Vicente Monroy | Francina Ribes Pericàs | Violeta Kovacsics | Carlos Barea\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dos Bigotes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55302218744152,"sku":"LIB-EL-DO-89","price":20.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8464\/0856\/files\/eloy-de-la-iglesia-el-placer-oculto-del-cine-espanol-5256636.jpg?v=1761780066"}],"url":"https:\/\/eu.plasticbooks.com\/en\/collections\/libros-alejandro-melero.oembed","provider":"Plastic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
