520 One of world cinema's most exciting filmmakers, Pedro
Almodóvar has been delighting, provoking, arousing,
shocking, and-above all-entertaining audiences around the
globe since he first burst on the international film scene
in the early 1980s. All about Almodóvar offers new
perspectives on the filmmaker's artistic vision and
cinematic preoccupations, influences, and techniques.
Through overviews of his oeuvre and in-depth analyses of
specific films, the essays here explore a diverse range of
subjects: Almodóvar's nuanced use of television and music
in his films; his reworkings of traditional film genres
such as comedy, horror, and film noir; his penchant for
melodrama and its relationship to melancholy, violence,
and coincidence; his intricate questioning of sexual and
national identities; and his increasingly sophisticated
inquiries into visuality and its limits. Closing with
Almodóvar's own diary account of the making of Volver and
featuring never-before-seen photographs from El Deseo
production studio, All about Almodóvar both reflects and
illuminates its subject's dazzling
eclecticism.Contributors: Mark Allinson, U of Leicester;
