The central theme of the child and the monster is used to examine the relationship of the self to the past, and to cinema. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConcentrating on films from the 1950s to the present day, the book explores religious films, musicals, 'art-house horror', science-fiction, social realism and fantasy. It includes reference to Erice's \u003ci\u003eThe Spirit of The Beehive\u003c\/i\u003e, del Toro's \u003ci\u003ePan's Labyrinth\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMañas's El Bola\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eMarisol\u003c\/i\u003e films. The book also draws on a century of filmmaking in Spain and intersects with recent revelations concerning the horrors of the Spanish past. The child is a potent motif for the loss of historical memory and for its recuperation through cinema. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is suitable for scholars and undergraduates working in the areas of Spanish cinema, Spanish cultural studies and cinema studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54012335915352,"sku":null,"price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781784993795.jpg?v=1777119338","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/the-child-in-spanish-cinema","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
