Los periodistas en el cine de Almodóvar: Ausencia de profesionalidad y poder al servicio del séptimo arte

Abstract

The Filmography of Pedro Almodóvar seems to be crucial in order to gauge the journalist image in the Spanish films. This assertion acquires its entire meaning attending to his tendency to portrait the journalistic figure in a unique, caustic and popular way. Almodóvar reflects with assiduity the journalistic activity in all his films, an odd custom, especially attending to the sharp critic that covers his journalists and his Media. With innocent paper articles or even journalists in the leading role, Almodóvar´s oeuvre represents the evolution of the journalistic profession in the course of the 20th Century and the 21st Century.
