As didactic as it is critical, this entertaining and copiously illustrated manual provides a unique overview of Spanish-language cinema from both sides of the Atlantic. The great classics of Spanish film — including? Bienvenido, Mr. Marshall! and Academy Award winner for Best Foreign Language Film Todo sobre mi madre — are complemented by lesser-known films, such as La teta asustada from Peru and Viaje hacia el mar from Uruguay, that also capture the spirit of Spanish-language cultures around the world.
