‘In this ground breaking study, Pérez explores the impact of Catholicism as a sociopolitical force in approximately 50 documentary and fiction features…. Highly recommended.’

Perez interrogates the assumption that after 1957, when the Franco regime recast itself in a secular and modernizing fashion, religion vanished from the cultural field. Les mer
Confessional Cinema offers a provocative and original analysis of the significance of religion not from a theological point of view, but rather as a socio-political force and cultural determinant in the Spanish public sphere of this period, known as desarrollismo (development years) from 1960-1975.
