In this volume, eighteen experts from a variety of academic backgrounds explore the use of songs in films from the Spanish and Portuguesespeaking worlds. This volume illustrates how rather than simply helping to tell the story of songs in Hispanic and Lusophone cinema commonly upset the hierarchy of the visual over the aural, thereby rendering their hearing a complex and rich subject for analysis.Screening songs... constitutes a groundbreaking, interdisciplinary collection. Of particular interest to scholars and academics in the areas of Film Studies, Hispanic Studies, Lusophone Studies and Musicology, this volume opens up the study of Hispanic and Lusophone cinema to vital, new, critical approaches. The soundtracks of films as varied as City of God, All About My Mother, Bad Education and Buena Vista Social Club are analysed alongside those of lesserknown works that range from the melodramas of Mexican cinemas golden age to Brazilian and Portuguese musical comedies from the 1940s and 1950s. Fiction films are studied alongside documentaries, the work of established directors like Pedro Almodvar, Carlos Saura and Nelson Pereira dos Santos alongside that of emerging filmmakers, and performances by iconic stars like Caetano Veloso and Chavela Vargas alongside the songs of Spanish Gypsy groups, Mexican folk songs and contemporary Brazilian rap.

I liked the idea behind this book, but it feels like it caters to a very specific audience. If you're not already a fan of Hispanic or Lusophone cinema, some parts might feel a bit too technical. Still, it had some interesting discussions.

Good insights but a bit dense
This book has some really insightful points regarding music in cinema, but I found parts of it a little hard to follow. It’s definitely academic, so it might not be for everyone. Still, if you're passionate about the subject, it has valuable information.
