“Dedicated contributors provide knowledgeable reviews, recommended readings, a necessary glossary, and, as a final lighter touch, a general knowledge quiz on an important industry that takes in gauchos, tango, human-rights dramas, and groundbreaking experimental documentaries. Throughout the aim is excellence in diversity—not only with regard to epochs, films, directors, and styles but also by examining regional commentary, exile, and some inevitable Argentine icons, which results in a real tour de force. A must read for all interested in Argentina, film, and modern Latin American history.”
