Tie Me Down!\u003c\/i\u003e to the almost classically austere \u003ci\u003eLive Flesh\u003c\/i\u003e. And, while questions of gender, nationality and sexuality have always been Almodovar’s concern, new subjects have been addressed in his more recent work: the corrosive effects of a deregulated Spanish media, the transition from dictatorship to democracy and, in \u003ci\u003eAll About My Mother\u003c\/i\u003e, uncompromising explorations of the process of mourning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis new edition includes four new chapters, among which is a rare interview with Almodovar himself, a new preface and additional illustrations. Still the only study of its kind in English, it vigorously confirms its original argument, that beneath Almodovar’s genius for comedy and visual pleasure lies a film-maker whose work deserves to be taken with the utmost seriousness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaul Julian Smith\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Spanish and Head of the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at Cambridge University.
