OverviewThis study explores how five major directors-Pedro Almodóvar, Alejandro Amenábar, Alex de la Iglesia, Guillermo del Toro, and Juan José Campanella-modeled their early careers on Hitchcock and his film aesthetics. In shadowing Hitchcock, their works embraced the global aspirations his movies epitomize. Each section of the book begins with an extensive study, based on newspaper accounts, of the original reception of Hitchcock's movies in either Spain or Latin America and how local preferences for genre, glamour, moral issues, and humor affected their success. The text brings a new approach to world film history, showcasing both the commercial and artistic importance of Hitchcock in Spain and Latin America Full Product DetailsAuthor: Dona KercherPublisher: Columbia University Press Imprint: Wallflower Press Dimensions: Width: 15.20cm , Height: 3.00cm , Length: 22.90cm Weight: 0.766kg ISBN: 9780231172080ISBN 10: 0231172087 Pages: 392 Publication Date: 17 February 2015 Audience: College/higher education , Undergraduate , Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Out of stock  The supplier is temporarily out of stock of this item.
