'In this ambitious volume, Rocha combines the methodologies of the film scholar and the film historian to examine the Argentine motion-picture industry during a volatile period in the nation’s cultural and political spheres [...] Providing relevant historical context for her observations, Rocha furthers understanding of an understudied period in Argentine cinema.'
