Book Presentation:
Collects critical essays on the influential Argentine director Lucrecia Martel
• Includes essays by prominent scholars from Latin America, the United States and Europe, and a new interview with Martel
• Offers conceptually rich and politically engaged readings of Martel’s films
• Covers all of Martel’s work, including short films and projects beyond cinema
Lucrecia Martel has made only four feature films to date, but has nonetheless become one of the world’s most admired directors. Her work is extraordinarily sensitive to the limits of sensory perception, the limits imposed by gender roles, and the limits of empathy and affect across social divisions.
This edited collection broadens the critical conversation around Martel’s work by integrating analyses of her features with the less frequently studied short films and her other artistic projects. This volume’s fresh, holistic approach to Martel’s career includes contributions from scholars in Latin America, Europe and the United States, and ends with a new interview with Martel herself.
Press Reviews:
This book offers a very wide and thorough approach to Martel’s cinema and her other visual productions. The introduction and final interview provide very interesting and thorough information to any reader who wants to dive into Martel’s films [...] many of the chapters will surely become leading references in the study of her cinema.– Daniel Mourenza, Radboud Universiteit, Mistral
A superb volume, full of new insights and innovative approaches. This is essential reading for anyone interested in Lucrecia Martel’s fascinating work.
– Dr Joanna Page, University of Cambridge
Bringing together a select group of critics from Argentina as well as from Anglophone academia, this volume sheds new light on aspects and nuances that have gone unnoticed in the work of Lucrecia Martel, Latin America’s defining filmmaker of the last twenty years.
