Abstract

New Argentine Cinema, the title of Jens Andermann’s latest book, is appropriate as it conveys the breadth of the book’s scope--fifty five films are analyzed in depth and a good deal more are referenced--while leaving hidden the multiple and complementary lines of inquiry that Andermann defines to guide his “survey”, all of which can hardly be evoked or summarized in a title. Similarly, the constraints of the review genre only allow us to hint at the evenly spaced succession of interpretative tour de force contained in this rich, theoretically inflected survey of Argentine cinema over the past fifteen years.
