| Summary: | This paper analyzes the conception of masculinity claimed by Nuestro Cinema, a film journal which, from its first issue, calls itself the « best » specialized publication, free from frivolous and sentimental contents in contrast to most other journals. Affiliated with the Communist Party, Nuestro Cinema paradoxically transmits an elitist conception of cinematographic culture which reveals a real identity crisis among Spanish men who are trying to counteract the power that women could reach through cinema, all the more as women’s status is experiencing an important evolution in Spain in the early 1930s. The protection of patriarchy and of a hegemonic and normative masculinity goes along with the promotion of the Russian and Soviet cinema whose models are far different from those of Hollywood cinema. The study of articles and film reviews helps to throw light on the will to regenerate masculinity and nation, a process which must be based on cinema, considered and directed in a specific way. |
