The first few minutes of a film orient the viewer, offering cues for a richer, more nuanced reading. With this premise, the author provides many insights into the history of Spanish language film, encouraging an enhanced understanding of the Spanish/Hispanic canon commonly taught in courses on film. The author explores El espiritu de la colmena (1973), La historia oficial (1985), Fresa y chocolate (1994), El crimen del padre Amaro (2002), Abre los ojos (1997), Te doy mis ojos (2003) and Carlos Saura's flamenco trilogy--Bodas de sangre (1981), Carmen (1983) and El amor bruno (1986), among others.
Richard K. Curry is a professor in the Department of Hispanic Studies at Texas A & M University (and former director of Undergraduate Studies). The coeditor of two scholarly journals, Hispanic Poetry Review and Cine y... , he is the author of books and articles on language, film, poetry, culture and pedagogy.
