Subgeneric Comedy during Spanish Transition: Paradoxes into the Storm
Abstract
The period of the Spanish Transition was as prolific in film production as in analysis of those works that were born in a turbulent time. But there was a group of films that took advantage of the new freedom but they were ideologically anchored in the past. These films rarely have been studied. We refer to what we call the Subgeneric Transition Comedy, a group of remarkable box office hits with an undeniable force as ideological weapon. We will try to demonstrate this through an analysis of the 30 most representative examples of that subgenre.Downloads
