101 películas españolas para entender nuestro presente

During the new century, our country has undergone profound changes that have led to significant political turns. Society has become polarized, the gap between rich and poor continues to grow, the precariat has established itself as a new social class, and women have taken to the streets to claim their legitimate rights. Hundreds of emigrants die every year on our shores while we suffer how the extreme right erupts, recalling times that we believe are over. Spanish cinema has dealt with these issues and many others with an intelligent sense of the present time. We live, evolve and create. Artists and filmmakers have managed to capture the social concerns of our era in films that, in addition to having, invite us to reflect. The 101 films included in this book offer a reliable X-ray of the present as a videoforum. There is quality, critical sense and talent in each one of them. A compilation that has brought together, with humility and care, works whose message encourages public debate and that remain in our collective memory. Somehow, among all of them, they write the script for an exceptional film: the one that explains ourselves.
