A history of Latin American cinema, with detailed analysis of the twenty-five best films.
Latin American cinema has seen major developments in the past half-century, and some of the most exciting work in contemporary film now originates there. This
Companion traces its development from the mid 1890s, with particular attention to the early period when it was dominated by foreign film makers (or foreign models such as Hollywood), through the 1960s when as a genre it found its feet – the New Latin American Cinema movement – and beyond. Detailed analysis of the best twenty-five films of Latin America follows: cast and crew, awards, plots, themes and techniques. The ‘Guide to Further Reading’ includes important books, articles and Internet sites.
