Crossing Over: The films and Filmmaking of Alejandro Amenábar

亚历杭德罗·阿梅纳贝尔是当今西班牙最受赞誉的年轻电影制作人，他是90年代新一轮S导演浪潮的主要代表，他们成功地将商业成功与艺术天赋结合在一起。这个项目是第一次用英语对他的电影和电影制作实践进行重大、全面的研究。它试图解释Amenaber独特的商业吸引力、高质量、导演电影的品牌，尽管不仅仅是西班牙的导演传统和它的“国家电影”。相反，它将阿梅纳贝分析为1991年《S》中西班牙电影业变革的典范，这部电影也反映了全球电影制作、发行和营销方面发生的更广泛、更复杂的变化。

Alejandro Amenaber is Spain's most acclaimed young filmmaker today, a leading representative of the new wave of 1990's directors who have managed to combine commercial success with artistic flair. This project is the first major, comprehensively study in English of his films and filmmaking practices. It seeks to account for Amenaber's distinctive brand of commercially appealing, quality, auteur cinema, though not simply in terms of Spain's auteur traditions and its 'national cinema'. Rather, it analyses Amenaber as an exemplar of transformations in Spain's film industry in the 1991's, which also reflect wider and more complex changes taking place in global film production, distribution and marketing.
