Summary:
"Directors Guillermo del Toro, Alfonso Cuarón and Alejandro González Iñárritu have won the hearts and minds of film-lovers, winning numerous prestigious international awards and multiple Oscars. Carlos Reygadas, meanwhile, has continued to make work that pushes both aesthetic and thematic boundaries and that embodies an exhilarating and truly independent arthouse cinema. In the wake of the ongoing success of these directors, and their vocal support for Mexican cinema, new figures and voices have emerged, offering a distinctive take on the social and political situation in Mexico, all with a startling clarity of vision. Featuring nineteen exclusive interviews, including new in-depth discussions with del Toro, Cuarón, Iñárritu and Reygadas, this second look at contemporary Mexican cinema offers a fascinating insight into the deep pool of homegrown talent and a bracing portrait of the country's current filmmaking climate."--Back cover.
