Description

2016 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title

Despite All Adversities examines a representative selection of notable queer films by Spanish America's most important directors since the 1950s. Each chapter focuses on a single film and offers rich and thoughtful new interpretations by a prominent scholar. The book explores films from across the region, including Tomas Gutierrez Alea's and Juan Carlos Tabio's Fresa y chocolate (Strawberry and Chocolate, 1993), Marcelo Pineyro's Plata quemada (Burnt Money, 2000), Barbet Schroeder's La Virgen de los Sicarios (Our Lady of the Assassins, 2000), Lucia Puenzo's XXY (XXY, 2007), Francisco J. Lombardi's No se lo digas a nadie (Don't Tell Anyone, 1998), Arturo Ripstein's El lugar sin limites (Hell Without Limits, 1978), among others. A survey of recent lesbian-themed Mexican films is also included.
