The author reviews 19 films that feature exploration, discovery, and mapping in Latin American settings, spanning from the early 20th century to the present. The book highlights the geographic breadth of these films, from northern Mexico to Chile's Atacama Desert, and discusses the significance of maps in the films. Francaviglia's analysis reveals a unifying theme of the exploration-discovery genre, providing a valuable contribution to film studies. While some notable films are absent from the book, overall, it offers an entertaining and insightful examination of exploration-discovery films in Latin America. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2024 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
