And, while questions of gender, nationality and sexuality have always been Almodovar’s concern, new subjects have been addressed in his more recent work: the corrosive effects of a deregulated Spanish media, the transition from dictatorship to democracy and, in \u003ci\u003eAll About My Mother\u003c\/i\u003e, uncompromising explorations of the process of mourning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis new edition includes four new chapters, among which is a rare interview with Almodovar himself, a new preface and additional illustrations. Still the only study of its kind in English, it vigorously confirms its original argument, that beneath Almodovar’s genius for comedy and visual pleasure lies a film-maker whose work deserves to be taken with the utmost seriousness.","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44214730490111,"sku":"9781859843048","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781859843048_s600x595.jpg?v=1782316422","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781859843048","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
