This volume offers an insightful synthesis of the cross currents and co-operation in film production between Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula..a useful book for university students, especially at honours level, and for some academics working in this area. I would expect it to fall into the category of recommended reading, particularly for courses dealing with Hispanic and Latin-American cinema in both departments of Hispanic Studies and Comparative Literature.
