ENGLISH DESCRIPTION"Full of tenderness and delirium, moving between suburban realism and fairy tale." Mariana Enriquez"An eldritch Pedro Almodovar nightmare, charting those liminal terrors found beyond the boundaries of the human body, where flesh itself is not safe." Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Devil Inside and Ghost EatersAn alternative Nightbitch set in Barcelona for fans of Fever Dream, following three mothers who are linked by the tentacles that live inside of them.Alba has always clung to her mother Carmen: to run errands, or simply validate every anxiety shes had. Yet, nothing can silence the fears Alba refuses to confront. They simmer, then burst, but never quite erupt, and each time Carmen is by her side. Meanwhile, Albas sister Diana struggles herself, balancing the demands of motherhood and work, but cannot remember the last time Carmen tended to her.Two days before Christmas, Alba drags Carmen to the mall. There, she runs into "the widows." The pair approach Alba, put an evil eye on her. Her nose starts to bleed, which is how Alba knows. Then, on Christmas Eve, Alba disappears. And Diana and Carmen collapse from the pain in their bellies, where a deep gash splits their purging stomachs. As the tensions the three women have long held in explode, they're finally forced to confront the terror that connects them.Haunting, cinematic, and strikingly visceral, Don't Leave Her Alone is an incisive exploration of motherhood through a surreal "awakening" that interrogates women's struggle for autonomy and identity, and ultimately forces the question: what does it take to finally be able to break free?

Encuadernación de tapa blanda. Condition: Excelente. 1ª Edición. Coordinado por Ángel Sala y Desirée de Fez. Casi un centenar de películas en poco más de dos décadas. Una filmografía variada donde caben todos los géneros y maneras de pervertirlos, en la que se encuentran ?de las formas más insólitas y extrañas? clasicismo y modernidad. Una tendencia natural a forzar la maquinaria en todas las direcciones, a tantear los límites y saltárselos. Y una huida desesperada de la etiqueta de autor pese a ser uno de los cineastas contemporáneos con una personalidad más rotunda, capaz de imprimir su sello a propuestas muy distintas, escritas por otros y a menudo realizadas por encargo. Ya sólo por estas variables, escribir un libro sobre el cineasta japonés Takashi Miike, responsable de ?Audition? (1999), película clave del cine moderno, y uno de los directores asiáticos de mayor proyección internacional, era un reto tan complicado como fascinante. Conscientes de la dificultad de encerrar en un libro a un autor extraordinariamente prolífico, libre (también libertino), contrario al etiquetaje y con una capacidad de sorprender y descolocar fuera de lo común, los autores de ?Takashi Miike: La provocación que llegó de Oriente? lanzan desde un ángulo decididamente personal sus impresiones sobre un cineasta imposible de apresar y descifrar por completo (ahí precisamente reside su fuerza e interés). La variedad de una obra en la que prima el cine de yakuzas (?Fudoh: The New Generation?, ?Ichi the Killer? o la falsa trilogía abierta con ?Dead or Alive?) pero caben todos los géneros habidos y por haber (terror, cine clásico de samuráis, ciencia-ficción, western, películas infantiles?), su tendencia a la hibridación en su sentido más amplio y, sobre todo, su condición de provocador insaciable, capaz de noquear al espectador con un tratamiento inaudito de elementos como la violencia, el humor y lo extraño, son algunos de los temas que conforman este perfil de Miike. Uno de los muchos perfiles posibles de un autor con mil rostros y otros tantos a punto de aparecer.…
