Sally Faulkner Como otras veces en este blog, por si pudiera interesarle a alguien, copio el principio de mi artículo:In film characters are surrounded by spaces, furniture, and other objects that work together as fundamental elements driving the plot forward. They provide precise information about the characters’ personal traits as well as the social environments in which they are embedded. The choice and use of the environments, furnishings, and props in Spanish films during the first decades of the twentieth century are windows to the ideas that were in place about architecture, interior space, and the emerging concept of comfort.1
