SPAIN ; BERLANGA, LUIS G. ; FERRERI, MARCO ; BUNUEL, LUIS ; ALMODOVAR, PEDRO Summary: In Dark Laughter, Juan F. Egea provides a remarkable in-depth analysis of the dark comedy film genre in spain, as well as a provocative critical engagement with the idea of national cinema, the visual dimension of cultural specificity, and the ethics of dark humor. Egea begins his analysis with General Fanco's dictatorship in the 1960s- aregime that openedthe country to new economic forces while maintaining its repressivr nature- exploring key works by Luis Garcia Berlanga, Marco Ferreri, Fernando Fernan-Gomez, and Luis Bunuel. Dark Laughterthen moves to the first films of Pedro Almodovar in the early 1980s during the spanish political transition to democracy before examinig Alex de la Iglesia and the new dark comedies of the 1990s...At its core Dark Laughter is a substantial inquiry into the epistemology of comedy, the intricacies of visual modernity, and the relationship between cinema and a wider framework of representational practices. -- [Extract taken from the back of the book]Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 171-178) and indexISBN: 9780299295448Contents: Machine generated contents note: 1.Familiar Questions -- 2.Movement and Paralysis, Dissidence and Identity: Ferreri's El cochecito -- 3.Complicity Dissected: Berlanga's El verdugo -- 4.Don Jaime's Laughter: Humor and Perversion in Viridiana -- 5.Modernizing Desire: Fernan-Gomez's El extrano viaje -- 6.Almodovar Interlude: Transitional Laughter -- 7.Back with a Vengeance: Laughing Darkly in Post-1992 Spain.

EUROPEAN COUNTRIES ; INDUSTRY, FILM. USA ; INDEPENDENT PRODUCTION ; GOVERNMENT AID. EUROPEAN COUNTRIES ; QUOTA. EUROPEAN COUNTRIES ; DISTRIBUTORS ; ALMODOVAR, PEDRO ; PUTTNAM, DAVID ; BERLUSCONI, SILVIO ; BERRI, CLAUDE ; BESSON, LUC Summary: The Movie Game is the first ever comprehensive guide to the industry on both sides of the Atlantic. The book outlines the game rules for the Majors, Independents, Foreign Sales Agents and the European subsidy system. Europe has always been the 'hidden' half of the American film equation. The Majors were built by native Europeans and have always been highly dependent on European talent and revenues. The Independents finance their films through pre-sales to Europe, and many of the leading producers are native Europeans who have relocated to the movie colony. While the American Majors thrive on high-risk free-market capitalism, Europe's media groups are enmeshed in political straitjackets designed to defend the 'national interest'. Quotas and subsidies have herded European cinema into a cultural ghetto from which it is very difficult to conduct rational debate. The MEDIA Programme seems only to have intensified the problem; Inspiration is drawn from the European film-makers who have succeeded in rising above the 'subsidy trap' mentality. The book concludes with profiles of producers such as David Puttnam, Claude Berri, Pedro Almodovar and Luc Besson. They are the human face of the industry and prove that however bureaucratic the world becomes, there will always be mavericks who stand out and make their voice heardNotes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 332-334) and indexISBN: 0304333867; 0304333875 (pbk.)LON: gb 97034316; 13222852
