This extraordinary volume not only presents the films of world famous Spanish and Latin American masters, but also the names, stories and genres of intriguing, less widely known productions.

They have triumphed at prestigious international festivals and inspired the styles and themes of American and European cinema. Film by film, this unique collection presents a concise survey—for the first time in such an integrated form—of the best of Spanish-language cinema. There are box office hits alongside art-house experiments, masterpieces and exciting debuts of emerging directors from Uruguay and Mexico. A rich portrait of the cultural and artistic story behind some of our most beloved films, not the least of which include All About My Mother, Pan’s Labyrinth, The Orphanage, Amores perros, The Sea Inside, and many more.
