Latsploitation, Exploitation Cinemas, and Latin America Summary

Latsploitation, Exploitation Cinemas, and Latin America by Victoria Ruetalo

Exploring the much neglected area of Latin American exploitation cinema, this anthology challenges established continental and national histories and canons which often exclude exploitation cinema due to its perceived 'low' cultural status. It argues that Latin American exploitation cinema makes an important aesthetic and social contribution to the larger body of Latin American cinema - often competing with Hollywood and more mainstream national cinemas in terms of popularity.

Latsploitation, Exploitation Cinemas, and Latin America Reviews

Joining recent scholarly work on exploitation film in general, this study is the first to critique Latin American film in such detail. It will be useful to students interested in film studies and also, perhaps, in cultural and Hispanic studies. Summing Up: Recommended. --Choice
