內容簡介

"A model of impeccable scholarship and writing. Alejandro Gonz�lez I簣�rritu is unquestionably one of the most interesting and important contemporary, filmmakers in Latin America, and this study demonstrates a solid and secure understanding of I簣�rritu's role in moving Mexican filmmaking toward a more globalized focus."羅David William Foster, author of Mexico City and Contemporary Mexican Filmmaking

This in-depth study of Mexican film director Alejandro Gonz�lez I簣�rritu explores his role in moving Mexican filmmaking from a traditional nationalist agenda toward a more global focus. Working in the United States and in Mexico, I簣�rritu crosses national borders while his movies break the barriers of distribution, production, narration, and style. Ws features also experiment with transnational identity as characters emigrate and settings change.

In studying the international scope of I簣�rritu's influential films Amores perros, 21 Grams, and Babel, Celestino Deleyto and Maria del Mar Azcona trace common themes such as human suffering and redemption, chance, and accidental encounters. The authors also analyze the director's powerful visual style and his consistent use of multiple characters and a fragmented narrative structure. The book concludes with a new interview with I簣�rritu that touches on the themes and subject matter of his chief works.
