"However, 100 Years of Spanish Cinema is a much needed and
comprehensive survey of Spanish cinema, and provides enough
information on the history and context of this national cinema to
encourage further inquiry and in fact, encourages the use of the
book as a springboard for future reading." (Scope Book Reviews, 1
February 2011)
"An excellent resource for students of Spanish film and/or
contemporary Spanish culture. Summing Up: Highly
recommended." (Choice Reviews, May 2009)
"Teachers of Spanish film have been waiting for a book like this
- the close readings of individual scenes are especially
useful. The coverage of early cinema is extremely welcome."
-Jo Labanyi, New York University
"'One Hundred Years of Spanish Cinema' is an excellent survey,
combining broad cultural context with close filmic analysis. It is
a unique resource for students in the field."
-Paul Julian Smith, University of Cambridge
"This splendid volume is an insightful blend of essays on
cultural history and thought-provoking analyses of key scenes from
over twenty films. It offers readers a sophisticated engagement
with the critical debates that have shaped a history of Spanish
cinema"
-Marvin D'Lugo, Clark University
