Publisher Description: This volume continues the exploration of contemporary Argentine cinema that began in the first book. It provides a close analysis of exciting new directors, including Marco Berger and Mat as Pi eiro, transnational stars like Ricardo Dar n, and trends such as films made in the provinces. Contributors cover several of the country's Oscar submissions, including Benjam n vila's Clandestine Childhood, Luc a Puenzo's The German Doctor, and Dami n Szifron's Wild Tales, which became a surprise global hit. Focusing primarily on films being made since 2000, the book offers a rich mix of reviews, essays, analyses, and film stills, which together make it an invaluable companion to one of the most popular, diverse and successful film industries in Latin America. |
