        Daniel Calparsoro

        by Nuria Triana-Toribio, Ann Davies, Andy Willis

        Daniel Calparsoro, a director who has made a crucial contribution to contemporary Spanish and Basque cinema, has provoked strong reactions from the critics. Reductively dismissed as a works of crude violence by those lamenting a 'lost golden age' of Spanish filmmaking, Calparsoro's films in fact reveal a more complex interaction with trends and traditions in both Spanish and Hollywood cinema. This book is the first full-length study of the director's work, from his early social-realist films set in the Basque Country to his later forays into the genres of the war and horror. It offers an in-depth film-by-film analysis while simultaneously exploring the director's position in the contemporary Spanish context, the tension between directors and critics and the question of national cinema in an area - the Basque Country - of heightened national and regional sensitivities.

        Daniel Calparsoro

        by Ann Davies, Nuria Triana-Toribio, Andy Willis

        Daniel Calparsoro, a director who has provided a crucial contribution to the contemporary scene in Spanish and Basque cinema, has provoked strong reactions from the critics. Reductively dismissed as a purveyor of crude violence by those critics lamenting a 'lost golden age' of Spanish filmmaking, Calparsoro's films reveal in fact a more complex interaction with trends and traditions in both Spanish and Hollywood cinema. This book is the first full-length study of the director's work, from his early social realist films set in the Basque Country to his later forays into the genres of the war and horror film. It offers an in-depth film-by-film analysis, while simultaneously exploring the function of the director in the contemporary Spanish context, the tension between directors and critics, and the question of national cinema in an area - the Basque Country - of heightened national and regional sensitivities. ;

        Zuhause

        Die Suche nach dem Ort, an dem wir leben wollen

        by Daniel Schreiber

        Früher war Zuhause der Ort, von dem man kam – und heute? Daniel Schreiber über die vielleicht wichtigste Suche unseres Lebens. Wo gehören wir hin? Was ist unser Zuhause in einer Zeit, in der sich immer weniger Menschen sinnstiftend dem Ort verbunden fühlen, an dem sie geboren wurden? In seinem persönlichen und viel gerühmten Essay beschreibt Daniel Schreiber den Umschwung eines kollektiven Gefühls: Zuhause ist nichts Gegebenes mehr, sondern ein Ort, nach dem wir uns sehnen, zu dem wir suchend aufbrechen. Schreiber blickt auf Philosophie, Soziologie und Psychoanalyse, und zugleich erzählt er seine eigene Geschichte: von Vorfahren, die ihr Leben auf der Flucht verbrachten. Von der Kindheit eines schwulen Jungen in einem mecklenburgischen Dorf. Von der Suche nach dem Platz, an dem wir bleiben können.

        Die spürst du nicht

        by Daniel Glattauer

        Der Bestsellerautor Daniel Glattauer lässt in seinem neuen Roman Menschen zu Wort kommen, die keine Stimme haben – ein Sittenbild unserer privilegierten Gesellschaft.Die Binders und die Strobl-Marineks gönnen sich einen exklusiven Urlaub in der Toskana. Tochter Sophie Luise, 14, durfte gegen die Langeweile ihre Schulfreundin Aayana mitnehmen, ein Flüchtlingskind aus Somalia. Kaum hat man sich mit Prosecco und Antipasti in Ferienlaune gechillt, kommt es zur Katastrophe.Was ist ein Menschenleben wert? Und jedes gleich viel? Daniel Glattauer packt große Fragen in seinen neuen Roman, den man nicht mehr aus der Hand legen kann und in dem er all sein Können ausspielt: spannende Szenen, starke Dialoge, Sprachwitz. Dabei zeichnet Glattauer ein Sittenbild unserer privilegierten Gesellschaft, entlarvt deren Doppelmoral und leiht jenen seine Stimme, die viel zu selten zu Wort kommen.

        French cinema in the 1970s

        The echoes of May

        by Alison Smith

        This book re-examines French cinema of the 1970s. It focuses on the debates which shook French cinema, and the calls for film-makers to rethink their manner of filming, subject matter and ideals in the immediate aftermath of the student revolution of May 1968. Alison Smith examines the effect of this re-thinking across the spectrum of French production, the rise of new genres and re-formulation of older ones. Chapters investigate political thrillers, historical films, new naturalism and Utopian fantasies, dealing with a wide variety of films. A particular concern is the extent to which film-makers' ideas and intentions are contained in or contradicted by their finished work, and the gradual change in these ideas over the decade. The final chapter is a detailed study of two directors who were deeply involved in the debates and events of the 70s, William Klein and Alain Tanner, here taken as exemplary spokesmen for those changing debates as their echoes reached the cinema.
