Review Quotes: In line with his essential work on Mexican film and television, Smith's Queer Mexico opens new doors to the study of media in Mexico by placing in the spotlight queer production that has remained either secret or undiscussed in current debates. From Juli?n Hern?ndez's magnificent movies, through porn, documentary film and commercial movies, all the way into telenovelas and web series, Smith traverses queer media production with the intelligence and enjoyment that characterize all of his works.-- (07/11/2017)
