Emilio Fernandez - Dolores Tierney
Pictures in the Margins (Spanish and Latin American Film)
KORTE INHOUD
Emilio Fernández: Pictures in the Margins is the first book-length English language account of Emilio Fernández (1904-1986), the most successful director of classical Mexican Cinema--famed for creating films that embody a loosely defined Mexican school of filmmaking. This book argues that classical Mexican cinema and specifically Fernández's films are not transparent reflections of dominant post-Revolutionary Mexican culture, but annotations and re-inscriptions of the particularities of Mexican society in the post-Revolutionary era. However, rather than offer an auteurist study, this book interrogates the construction of Fernández as both a national and nationalist auteur and challenges auteurist readings of the films themselves in order to make new arguments about the significance of Fernández and his work.
