This exciting new textbook for the Advanced Conversation course departs from the traditional "topic of the day" approach and instead uses film as a unifying subject matter. Organized into four thematic units ("La traicin," "El destino," "La mujer independiente," and "La amistad y la familia"), each of which presents three to four films for discussion and analysis, "Hablando de cine" serves not only as a stimulus for advanced conversation but also as an introduction to the world of Spanish and Latin American film. The result is an engaging content-based approach that highlights the richness of Spanish-language cinema and Hispanic culture.
