Um Amor como nos Filmes
É possível apaixonarmo-nos na vida real como acontece nos filmes? É o que Evie Summers tem de descobrir. Porque se ela não conseguir convencer Ezra Chester a terminar o argumento para uma comédia romântica, a carreira dela terminará. O problema é que Ezra pensa que as comédias românticas não refletem a realidade — e só voltará a escrever se Evie lhe provar que é possível conhecer um homem na vida real da mesma forma que acontece no grande ecrã. Evie não acredita no amor eterno, mas vai fazer tudo para salvar o seu emprego... mesmo que isso signifique recriar publicamente cenas icónicas de comédias românticas. Entornar sumo de laranja num estranho? Não há problema. Deixar o seu número de telefone em livros por toda a Londres para ver quem lhe telefona? Feito. Com uma pequena ajuda dos amigos — e de Ben e Anette, o adorável duo de pai e filha que testemunham constantemente as suas humilhações —, Evie está determinada em provar que é possível conhecer um homem da mesma maneira que Julia Roberts conheceu Hugh Grant. Mas quais são as chances de uma workaholic que desistiu do amor encontrar o seu príncipe encantado?
Spanish Erotic Cinema

Release Date: 2017-04-13
The first comprehensive scholarly study of Spanish erotic cinema, from the 1920s until the present dayThis book covers a significant part of the history of Spanish film, from the 1920s until the present day. Starting with a study of the kiss in silent films, the volume explores homoerotic narratives in the crusade films of the 1940s, the commodification of bodies in the late Franco period, and the so-called destape (literally aundressing) period that followed the abolition of censorship during the democratic transition.Reclaiming the importance of Spanish erotic cinema as a genre in itself, a range of international scholars demonstrate how the explicit depiction of sex can be a useful tool to illuminate current and historic social issues including ageism, colonialism, domestic violence, immigration, nationalisms, or women and LGBT rights. Covering a wide range of cinematic genres, including comedy, horror and melodrama, this book provides an innovative and provocative overview of Spanish cinema history and society in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.ContributorsBrad Epps, Cambridge UniversitySally Faulkner, University of ExeterSantiago Fouz-HernA!ndez, Durham UniversityAntonio LA!zaro-Reboll, University of KentAnnabel MartA-n, Dartmouth CollegeAlejandro Melero Salvador, Universidad Carlos III in MadridJorge PA(c)rez, University of Texas, AustinCarolina Sanabria, University of Costa Rica Rob Stone, University of BirminghamTom Whittaker, University of LiverpoolEva Woods PeirA Vassar CollegeSarah Wright, Royal Holloway, University of LondonBarbara Zecchi, University of Massachusetts Amherst
The Cinema of Manoel de Oliveira
Author: Hajnal Király
language: en
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
Release Date: 2022-05-19
Manoel de Oliveira is the only filmmaker whose career spans from the silent era to the digital age, and yet there is little written in English about his extensive filmography. This volume, the first to discuss Oliveira's later works in English, fills this incredible gap in scholarship on the director with fresh and original analysis of over 50 of Oliveira's films, ranging from 1963's Rite of Spring to 2009's Eccentricities of a Blonde-haired Girl. Organized by tropes and topics, rather than chronological order of release, The Cinema of Manoel de Oliveira creates a unique lens through which to consider the director and the ways in which his work links cinema, literature, and other artforms. Hajnal Király sheds new light on Oliveira's filmography with new readings of his work in relation to 20th and 21st century history.
