Reviews

'A collection of clear, concise and highly readable essays devoted to the exploration of Almodovar's provocative film, providing not only an outstanding introduction to the film itself but also an examination of the many philosophical questions that it serves to raise. This book is a welcome addition to the literature on philosophy and film, and will provide a superb resource for those studying in this field.' -- Christopher Falzon, The University of Newcastle, Australia 'These are insightful essays about a deeply disturbing film that challenges our ordinary presumptions concerning morality, art, love, gender, and appearance. The line-up of writers is first-rate.' -- Daniel Flory, Montana State University, USA
