{"product_id":"daniel-calparsoro-1","title":"Daniel Calparsoro","description":"Daniel Calparsoro, a director who has made a crucial contribution to contemporary Spanish and Basque cinema, has provoked strong reactions from the critics. Reductively dismissed as works of crude violence by those lamenting a 'lost golden age' of Spanish filmmaking, Calparsoro’s films in fact reveal a more complex interaction with trends and traditions in both Spanish and Hollywood cinema. This book is the first full-length study of the director’s work, from his early social-realist films set in the Basque Country to his later forays into the genres of the war and horror. It offers an in-depth film-by-film analysis while simultaneously exploring the director’s position in the contemporary Spanish context, the tension between directors and critics and the question of national cinema in an area – the Basque Country – of heightened national and regional sensitivities.","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54253174686040,"sku":"9780719073649","price":97.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780719073649.jpg?v=1764854132","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/daniel-calparsoro-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
