Publisher's Synopsis
Now available in paperback, this is the first academic book dedicated to the filmmaking of the three-best known Mexican-born directors, Guillermo del Toro, Alejandro Gonz�lez I��rritu and Alfonso Cuar�n. Deborah Shaw examines the career trajectories of the directors and presents a detailed analysis of their most significant films with a focus on both the texts and the production contexts in which they were made. These include studies on del Toro's Cronos/Chronos, El laberinto del fauno/Pan's Labyrinth, and Hellboy II: The Golden Army; I��rritu's Amores Perros, 21 Grams and Babel; and Cuar�n's S�lo con tu pareja/Love in the Time of Hysteria, Y tu mam� tambi�n, and Children of Men. The Three Amigos will be of interest to all those who study Hispanic and Spanish cinema in particular, and world and contemporary cinema in general.
