Latin American Political Cinema

By Jorge Majfud

Latin American Political Cinema includes an analysis of 18 Latin American films, 18 contemporary classics that represent the non-commercial cinema of this continent. The author analyzes these productions specifically in their social and historical context. Each of the films included in this book posed profound questions about the hegemonic culture of Hollywood and capitalism, while also representing the mature alternative of imperfect Latin American cinema to the superficial and empty perfection of the film industry, to the culture of consumerism and simplification.
