As Almodóvar is undoubtedly the most internationallyacclaimed Spanish director of the last thirty years,one could claim that he is a cultural symbol ofthe hugely successful Spanish transition todemocracy. He has represented Spain's socialtranformation in cinematografhic form. In this bookI propose to analyze his artistic output,concentrating mainly on his cinematographic work,which has earned him the widest acclaim. I intend toexamine his works in terms of a symbolic journeywhich I will explain briefly. Almodóvar's work ishugely symbolic and I intend to examine his use ofsymbolism and themes which have often brought him ona spiritual and cultural journey over the years,culminating in 'Volver' which means 'to return'. Therelease of this film illustrates a symbolic,circular progression and development in his work,where he seems to have come to terms with not onlyhis own past but the history of his country. As amature director he can now accept and appreciatesome of Spain's traditions. From the rich to thepoor, Punks to Goths, men to women...his work isbound to leave you at the edge of your seat. VivaAlmodóvar! ... Read more
