A discrete section of interviews with directors is a most welcome inclusion in what is an indispensable book for those who want an informed analysis of the contemporary landscape in Latin American cinema.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDr Sarah Wright\u003c\/b\u003e, Reader in Hispanic Studies, Royal Holloway, University of London\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A richly informed and probing analysis of one of the world's most dynamic film-making regions.
