Description
World Film Locations: Madrid is a visually engaging journey through the history of one of the most cinematic cities in the world. The book includes short synopses of 44 scenes from films that illustrate the changing ways in which the city of Madrid has appeared on screen in a variety of genres by an eclectic range of directors.
Complimenting these scenes from such varied films as Siempre vuelven de madrugada (They Always Come at Dawn), Abre Los Ojos/Open Your Eyes, The Limits of Control and La muerte de un ciclista/Death of a Cyclist, the book also includes a selection of six spotlight essays that look at key directors, themes, and significant periods from Madrid's rich filmic history.
Illustrated throughout with dynamic screen captures, stills of filming locations as they appear now and city maps that include location information, World Film Locations: Madrid is a guided tour for film fans that helps to bridge the gap between the real and the imagined in a city that offers continuous surprise and is full of life in its purest form.
