Sommario/riassunto

A key decade in world cinema, the 1960's was also a crucial era of change in Spain. A Cinema of Contradiction, the first book to focus in depth on this period in Spain, analyses six films that reflect and interpret these transformations. The coexistence of traditional and modern values and the timid acceptance of limited change by Franco's authoritarian regime are symptoms of the uneven modernity that characterises the period. Contradiction - the unavoidable effect of that unevenness - is the conceptual terrain explored by these six filmmakers.
