It’s All True
"This is an extremely rigorous, thorough piece of superior scholarship on one of the most important figures in the history of cinema. Benamou introduces a wealth of material on the production process and the repercussions of this project in Latin America, which have been entirely missing from earlier, auteur-centered accounts; this alone makes it a book of great importance. We can't ask for a more definitive, groundbreaking study than the one Benamou has given us."—Bill Nichols, author of Maya Deren and the American Avant-Garde

Mexican Cinema
Mexican filmmaking is traced from its early beginnings in 1896 to the present in this book. Of particular interest are the great changes from 1990 to 2004: the confluence of talented and dedicated filmmakers, important changes in Mexican cinematic infrastructure and significant social and cultural transformations. From Nicolas Echevarria's Cabeza de Vaca (1991), to the 1992 releases of Hellboy director Guillermo del Toro's Cronos and Alfonso Arau's Como agua para chocolate, to Alfonso Cuaron's Y tu mama tambien (2001), this work provides a close look at Mexican films that received international commercial success and critical acclaim and put Mexico on the cinematic world map. Arranged chronologically, this edition (originally published in 2005) covers the entire scope of Mexican cinema. The main films and their directors are discussed, together with the political, social and economic contexts of the times.

Its All True
O lendário filme que Orson Welles nunca conseguiu terminar Muitas vezes descrito como uma obra de gênio, um desastre pretensioso, um filme de importância crucial e uma vítima do ego de seu diretor, entre outras coisas, It's All True, rodado no México e no Brasil entre 1941 e 1942, é o lendário filme que Orson Welles nunca consegui terminar. Neste livro, Catherine Benamou sintetiza uma riqueza de material novo e pouco conhecido reunido em dois continentes, incluindo entrevistas com participantes importantes do projeto, para apresentar uma visão original e convincente do filme e de seu significado histórico.
