Review Quotes:
Michael T. Martin's New Latin American Cinema is an indispensable resource for scholars and students of international cinema, mass-mediated culture, art, and politics. The two-volume anthology brings together major theoretical statements by participants in the continent-wide movement, seminal critical and contextual analyses, discussions of international implications and articulations, and essays tracing cinematic developments in individual countries. A timely, well-organized and thoughtful compilation with contributions from the leading scholars of Latin American cinema, it will quickly become the standard work in the field.
