{"product_id":"amarga-navidad-guion","title":"Amarga Navidad","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe book that accompanies Pedro Almodóvar's new film, a story about the close relationship between reality and fiction, between inspiration and life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmarga Navidad shows us two alternating stories. The first begins in December 2004, during the long Constitution Day holiday, and is centered on Elsa, an advertising director, as well as her boyfriend Bonifacio and her friends Patricia and Natalia. The second takes place in 2026 and its protagonist is Raúl, a screenwriter and director who is immersed in writing a script: we soon discover that it is Elsa’s story. She is, in a way, Raúl’s alter ego, who turns to autofiction as a solution to a long creative drought. He looks inside himself and cannot help but also look at the people who make up his most intimate universe, who are his partner and his assistant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis edition contains, in addition to the film’s script, an appendix with comments on its creative process and filming, signed by Almodóvar himself; it is also richly illustrated in full color with frames from the film, images from the shoot, and storyboard excerpts, and closes with a beautiful and personal text, as an epilogue, by Gustavo Martín Garzo. Amarga Navidad is a book that serves as the perfect companion to the feature film and will attract all lovers of cinema and culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCritics have said:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“One of the filmmaker’s deepest and most profound films. Everything happens quietly. But everything weighs heavily. The story of a woman struck by a loss she cannot process becomes a universal reflection on how we move forward when what we loved no longer exists.”\u003cbr\u003eAlberto Pinteño, Harper’s Bazaar\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reservoir Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57004848152920,"sku":"LIB-AM-RE-609","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8464\/0856\/files\/amarga-navidad-guion-plastic-books.jpg?v=1777643491","url":"https:\/\/uk.plasticbooks.com\/en\/products\/amarga-navidad-guion","provider":"Plastic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
