This book considers how architectural landmarks, imagined buildings
and urban landscapes take part in the production of meaning in
contemporary Argentine cinema. From the iconic Buenos Aires Obelisk
to the Hilton International Hotel, the shopping center to the cafe
and the Le Corbusier-designed Curutchet House to the gated
community, architecture in these films evokes the political.
Tracing architecture's expression through six films produced since
the 1990s-Pizza birra faso, Mundo grua, Nueve reinas, La nina
santa, La antena and El hombre de al lado-Amanda Holmes studies how
architecture in cinema elicits political memory, underscores
marginalization and class discrepancies, creates nostalgia for
neighborhoods and re-evaluates existing communities. Generously
illustrated and carefully researched, the book offers an in-depth
reading of key contemporary Argentine films and a fresh
architectural approach to film analysis.
