Consortium welcomes Outlines from Absolute Press, an impressive and mature series chronicling the lives of some of the most exceptional and influential gay and lesbian artists of our time.

Pedro Almodovar's unswerving interest in every manifestation of human sexuality has given birth to some of the most memorable films of the last three decades. David Johnston's review of Spain's leading film-maker looks at the outrageous director's love of camp, and for the first time sets his portrayal of human love and lust in all its bizzare forms against the background of the Spanish political and cultural revolution. All his films are examined as well as his earliest experiments in Super 8. This book draws upon writing and interviews previously only available in Spanish.
