Inside This Book (Learn More)
First Sentence
Almodóvar's origins in backward, rural La Mancha  the desolate flatlands which drove Don Quijote to madness  and his migration to Madrid in time to witness both the later years of the Franco dictatorship and the new freedoms of democratic Spain, have clearly left their mark on his films. Read the first page

4.0 out of 5 stars A comprehensive exploration of Almodovar's films, 22 Nov 2001
By A Customer
Author Mark Allinson's book gives us an in-depth survey of the films of Almodovar including his Oscar winning film, "All About My Mother". Incuded are excellent notes, bibliography, brief synopsis of the films, including cast and production notes and an index. B&W pix from the films add to the book's flavor. My only criticism was that I found his organization of his material a little scattered. I would have preferred a seperate discussion of each film, rather than having to sift through each chapter to glean information on the individual movies. This personal preference aside, I gained a deeper understanding of Almodaovar's work. While I disagreed with some of Allinson's views, they were presented clearly and with conviction. Definitely a recommended book for any serious student of film.
