100 Years of Spanish Cinema

"However, 100 Years of Spanish Cinema is a much needed and comprehensive survey of Spanish cinema, and provides enough information on the history and context of this national cinema to encourage further inquiry and in fact, encourages the use of the book as a springboard for future reading." (Scope Book Reviews, 1 February 2011)

"An excellent resource for students of Spanish film and/or contemporary Spanish culture. Summing Up: Highly recommended.” (Choice Reviews, May 2009)
