Simply great

Although now perhaps a bit dated in some respects, the collection of essays that comprise this book is extremely interesting, academically rigorous and in some cases innovative. Its coverage of the encounter between Europe and Latin America on film, in both breadth and depth, is very thorough. It is a pity it is not more widely available. It is now a classic.
