"The Cinema of Latin America" is the first volume in the new
"24 Frames" series of studies of national and regional cinema. In
taking an explicitly text-centered approach, the books in this
series offer a unique way of considering the particular concerns,
styles and modes of representation of numerous national cinemas
around the world. This volume focuses on the vibrant practices that
make up Latin American cinema, a historically important regional
cinema and one that is increasingly returning to popular and
academic appreciation. Through 24 individual concise and insightful
essays that each consider one significant film or documentary, the
editors of this volume have compiled a unique introduction to the
cinematic output of countries as diverse as Brazil, Argentina,
Cuba, Mexico, Bolivia, Chile and Venezuala. The work of directors
such as Luis Bu?uel, Thomas Guiterrez Alea, Walter Salles, and
Alfonso Arau is discussed and the collection includes in-depth
studies of seminal works as such "Los Olvidados, The Hour of the
Furnaces, Like Water For Chocolate, Foreign Land, " and "Amoros
Perros."
