The influence of these works, which have been feted around the world, has been immense, and \u003ci\u003eAlmodovar on Almodovar \u003c\/i\u003etells the personal story of the man and his wonderfully vivid and outrageous vision. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlmodovar came of age during an austere time in rural Spain: the 1950s, the age of the Cold War, of mambo, of Balenciaga, of the Korean War, of the Hungarian Revolution, of the death of Stalin. But none of these events bore any impact on his village. In response, Almodovar proceeded to carve for himself a unique niche in contemporary cinema with films bursting with vibrant energy and vivid, primary colors--each frame saturated with passions, releasing a pure, visual, visceral emotion. In these frank and passionate conversations, Almodovar discusses his astonishing life and career with a humor that is distinctly his own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar Strauss \u0026amp; Giroux-3pl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/20\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780571231928\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Pedro Almodovar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38470767149237,"sku":"9780571231928","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_10ce866b-a584-4ce9-aa0e-33899fb6c615.jpg?v=1612926963","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/almod-var-on-almod-var-9780571231928","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
