The Last Dream

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description
An intimate and mischievous story collection from legendary film director Pedro Almod var The Last Dream brings together twelve stories from legendary film director Pedro Almod var's personal archive. Delivering a tantalising glimpse into Almod var's world, together they reflect his most intimate obsessions, as well as his daring evolution as an artist. Ranging from a beautiful chronicle of the death of Almod var's mother in 'The Last Dream', to a love story between Jesus and Barabbas, a cult film director out in search of painkillers on a bank holiday weekend, the original story behind the film Bad Education, and a gothic tale of a repentant vampire, these mischievous stories delight and surprise. The Last Dream is a celebration of the relationship between life and art, fiction and reality, bursting with desire and playful humour.
