The War That Won't Die Zusammenfassung

The War That Won't Die: The Spanish Civil War in Cinema David Archibald

The war that wont die charts the changing nature of cinematic depictions of the Spanish Civil War. In 1936, a significant number of artists, filmmakers and writers from George Orwell and Pablo Picasso to Joris Ivens and Joan Miro rallied to support the countrys democratically-elected Republican government. The arts have played an important role in shaping popular understandings of the Spanish Civil War and this book examines the specific role cinema has played in this process. The books focus is on fictional feature films produced within Spain and beyond its borders between the 1940s and the early years of the twenty-first century including Hollywood blockbusters, East European films, the work of the avant garde in Paris and films produced under Francos censorial dictatorship.

The book will appeal to scholars and students of Film, Media and Hispanic Studies, but also to historians and, indeed, anyone interested in why the Spanish Civil War remains such a contested political topic.

The War That Won't Die Bewertungen

The research is rich in specifics, and makes abundantly clear why the conflict presents a particularly fruitful subject of analysis in relation to these issues.

In one of Archibald's aforementioned first-hand interviews, Guillermo Del Toro is quoted as saying that "every real event....needs an imaginary re-telling," and The War That Won't Die seems to concur, demonstrating the diverse ways that cinema can contribute meaningfully to debates about the past and its influence on the present.

The War That Wont Die is a valuable contribution to the growing bibliography devoted to cultural representations of the Spanish Civil War that analyses a broad range of films emerging from a variety of national contexts and historical eras.

The books lively and straightforward engagement with ongoing debates about the capacity of the narrative cinema to represent history authentically and responsibly makes it an essential addition to the bibliography on cinematic representations of the Spanish Civil War and on historical film generally.
