Lucrecia Martel is among the most outstanding directors of the so-called New Argentine Cinema of the 1990s, and one of the most influential contemporary Latin American filmmakers. Each new feature is highly anticipated around the world. The thematic, narrative and aesthetic renewal displayed by each of her films has had a significant impact on global cinematography. A volume in English entirely dedicated to her original work is, therefore, long overdue. The Films of Lucrecia Martel provides this recognition with 14 essays by Argentine, Latin American and international scholars who chart Martel´s contributions to contemporary cinema, taking into consideration not only her films, but all her artistic interventions, which include television programmes, set design, video clips, and an exclusive interview with the director.
