El caballero del dragón. Estrategias globales para una película nacional

Abstract

ABSTRACT El caballero del dragón is one of the most controversial films in Fernando Colomo’s filmography. This article examines the production of the movie in order to question, on the one hand, its industrial focus and, on the other hand, the attempt to link the film to the science-fiction genre. Thus, we will try to show the excessive focus the filmmaker placed on industrial issues, as well as pointing out the great attention the film pays to the Spanish social context. Both issues impeded the commercial success of the movie as an international production.
