Through in-depth case studies, it contributes a fascinating new chapter to world cinema history., "Recommended." -- Choice Reviews "With an eye to the national and international contexts of production and reception of contemporary Latin American cinema, essays in this exciting collection focus on international blockbusters as well as introduce readers to lesser known films. A welcome and valuable addition to the growing scholarship on the cinemas of the region." --Andrea Noble, Durham University "The great merit of this book is to acknowledge current Latin American cinema's international success as an aesthetic achievement, as well as a commercial one.

A valuable compendium for anyone who wants to know what's up with cinema in Latin America today." --B.
