Book Presentation:
Mexico is one of the richest while least researched film cultures in the world. Especially its classical period is a treasure trove of cinematic genius containing everything from the refined and educated mass entertainment to stunningly outrageous genre concoctions. This collection of ten texts invites the reader to a journey of discovery. The range of subjects includes : from various looks at national particularities in genre cinema, especially melodrama and horror ; via the cosmopolitanism of Mexican cinema ; film as an agent of modernization ; rewriting the Mexican movie canon ; to an appreciation of editor Gloria Schoemann. For cognoscenti a welcome addition to existing texts - for the uninitiated a wide gate to enter this extraordinary world.

México es una de las culturas cinematográficas más ricas y menos investigadas del mundo. Su periodo clásico es un tesoro de ingenio cinematográfico que contiene de todo, desde el entretenimiento de masas refinado y educado hasta brebajes de género asombrosamente escandalosos. Esta colección de diez textos invita al lector a un viaje de descubrimiento. El abanico temático abarca diversas miradas a las particularidades nacionales del cine de género, especialmente el melodrama y el terror, además del cosmopolitismo del cine mexicano ; el cine como agente de modernización ; la reescritura del canon del cine mexicano, y una apreciación de la editora Gloria Schoemann. Para los conocedores, se tratará de una bienvenida adición a los textos ya existentes ; para los no iniciados, una amplia puerta para ingresar a este extraordinario mundo.
