Specificatii
From 1968 to 1977, Spain experienced a boom in horror-movie
production under a restrictive economic system established by the
country's dictator, Francisco Franco. Despite hindrance from the
Catholic Church and Spanish government, which rigidly controlled
motion picture content, hundreds of horror films were produced
during this ten-year period. This statistic is even more remarkable
when compared with the output of studios and production companies
in the United States and elsewhere at the same time. What accounts
for the staggering number of films, and what does it say about
Spain during this period? In Sex, Sadism, Spain, and Cinema: The
Spanish Horror Film, Nicholas G. Schlegel looks at movies produced,
distributed, and exhibited under the crumbling dictatorship of
General Franco. The production and content of these films, the
author suggests, can lead to a better understanding of the
political, social, and cultural conditions during a contentious
period in Spain's history. The author addresses the complex factors
that led to the official sanctioning of horror films--which had
previously been banned--and how they differed from other popular
genres that were approved and subsidized by the government. In
addition to discussing the financing and exhibiting of these
productions, the author examines the tropes, conventions,
iconography, and thematic treatments of the films. Schlegel also
analyzes how these movies were received by audiences and critics,
both in Spain and abroad. Finally, he looks at the circumstances
that led to the rapid decline of such films in the late 1970s and
early 1980s. By examining how horror movies thrived in Spain during
this decade, this book addresses a sorely neglected gap in film
scholarship and also complements existing literature on Spanish
national cinema. Sex, Sadism, Spain, and Cinema will appeal to fans
of horror films as well as scholars of film history, European
history, genre studies, and cultural studies.
