The Cinema of Alex de La Iglesia

Alex de la Iglesia, initially championed by Pedro Almodovar, and at one time the enfant terrible of Spanish film, is still making film critics nervous. The director of some of the most important films of the Post-Franco era -- "Accion mutante, El dia de la bestia, Muertos de risa" -- receives here the first full length study of his work. Breaking away from the pious tradition of acclaiming art-house auteurs, The cinema of Alex de la Iglesia tackles a new sort of beast: the popular auteur, who brings the provocation of the avant-garde to popular genres such as horror and comedy.
