Cr�ticas

"With its succinct film analyses and rigorous contextualization, this book charts a decade of cinematic innovation and experimentation, illustrating the extent to which contemporary film-makers are forging a compelling and important dialogue about mexicanidad in the twenty-first century... This book goes some way in providing precisely that space and it is to be hoped that its readers will seize the opportunity with relish." - Dr. Nuala Finnegan Centre for Mexican Studies University College Cork "This will be a valuable addition to the expanding corpus of English-language books on Mexican cinema, which is spreading knowledge of one of the world's important film industries. Dr. Haddu writes in a clear and engaging style, happily free of the jargon with which much film literature is burdened. Thus her book will be accessible and useful to both film scholars and students." - Professor Carl J. Mora University of New Mexico"

Rese�a del editor

This study examines, contextualizes, and evaluates the significance of contemporary Mexican filmmaking, focusing on the so-called 'cine nuevo' of 1989-1999. Accordingly, the study is divided into three sections, representing the key generic discourses that frame the films' narratives and underlying aims: The first analyzes contemporary Mexican cinema's re-presentation of history on the cinematic screen; and the second part of the book examines the rise in the number of women directors, comparing it with the previous lack of female participation within the filmmaking arena; the last section explores the re-location of cinematic geographies in contemporary cinema.
