Dezine


Important magazine that comprised a key part of the flowering of youth/alternative culture that grew in post facist Madrid and was known as the Movida Madrilena. So of course very Pedro Almadovar heavy with lots of features on his first and very early works, mainly film criticism and images but also post punk and new wave groups such as Alaska y los Pegamoides, Los Zombies, Los Modelos, Rubi y los Casinos, where to go out, what to wear, who's who, photographs from the likes of Alberto Garcia Alix and so on. Aside of covering the important part of the local scene there are big features on Warhol, the Sex Pistols, John Waters, Alain Resnais, Nina Hagen and other stars of the alternative international stage. A brilliant document of an important but overlooked movement in the history of youth culture.
