Sotinel Thomas Masters of Cinema: Pedro Almodóvar Издательство: Phaidon Press Жанр: Phaidon Press Качество: Хорошее Страниц: 104 Формат: pdf, fb2, epub «Pedro Almodovar (Spain, b. 1951) single-handedly represents the revival of Spanish cinema as part of the cultural flowering of the Movida Madrilena in the 1980s. New York was first to hail the unbridled imagination of this provocative director, whose films are filled with transsexuals, neurotics («Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown», 1988) and even drug-addicted nuns («The Law of Desire», 1987). In his maturity, Almodovar has continued to draw inspiration from his underprivileged childhood in a remote corner of La Mancha, making melodramas bursting with heightened passions expressed by unforgettable actors such as enelope Cruz («All About My Mother», 1999; and «Broken Embraces», 2009) and Gael Garcia Bernal («Bad Education», 2004).»
