The Films of Bigas Luna
Book •
Santiago Fouz-Hernández's 'The Films of Bigas Luna' is the first full English-language monograph dedicated to the Spanish filmmaker's complete oeuvre, spanning Tatuaje (1976) to DiDi Hollywood (2010).
The book combines extensive archival research, interviews, and screenplay analysis with theoretical frameworks including haptic cinema, erotic cinema, auteur theory, and studies of gender and national identity.
Structured into five thematic chapters, it offers close readings of individual films while situating them within production, marketing, and broader cultural contexts.
The work aims to broaden appreciation of Bigas Luna beyond his best-known trilogy by examining early, middle, and late-period films in detail.
It functions both as a cohesive critical study and a reference for those researching specific films in his filmography.
