In recent decades, the Spanish 'fantastic' has been at the forefront of genre
filmmaking. Films such as The Day of the Beast, the REC trilogy, The Orphanage
and Timecrimes have received widespread attention and popularity, arguably
rescuing Spanish cinema from its semi-invisibility during the creativity-crushing
Franco years. By turns daring, evocative, outrageous and intense, this new cinema
has given voice to a generation, both beholden to and yet breaking away from
their historical and cultural roots.
Beginning in the 1990s, films from directors such as Alex de la Iglesia, Alejandro
Amenabar and Jaume Balaguero reinvigorated Spanish cinema in the horror,
science fiction and fantasy veins as their work proliferated and took centre stage
at international festivals such as Sitges, Fantasia International Film Festival and
Fantastic Fest. Through an examination of key films and filmmakers, Shelagh
Rowan-Legg here investigates the rise of this unique new wave of genre films from
Spain, and how they have recycled, reshaped and renewed the stunning visual
tropes, wild narratives and imaginative other worlds inherent to an increasingly
influential cinematic field. Its emergence is part of a new trend of postnational
cinema, led by the fantastic, which approaches the national boundaries of cinema
with an exciting sense of fluidity.
Shelagh Rowan-Legg is a writer and filmmaker. She is a programmer for FrightFest,
an associate editor and film critic for Screen Anarchy, and a critic for
Her short films have played at festivals in North America, Asia and Europe. She has
a PhD in Spanish fantastic film from King's College London.
‘The Spanish Fantastic brings a highly informed critical perspective to key works
from one of the most exciting production, cycles in recent Spanish cinema. From
Guillermo del Toro and Alex de la Iglesia, to lesser-known genre specialists Jaume
Balaguero and Paco Plaza, the author's range.is unsurpassed and her. approach
expertly informed.'
‘Shelagh Rowan-Legg’s innovative monograph eschews the.normal auteurist
and nationalist approaches to Spanish cinema to offer a series of excellent
close readings of genre films, many of them little known.’ |
