From the mid1930s to the late 1950s, Mexican cinema became the most successful Latin American cinema and the leading Spanishlanguage film industry in the world. Many Cine de Oro (Golden Age cinema) films adhered to the dominant Hollywood model, but a small yet formidable filmmaking faction rejected Hollywoods paradigm outright. Directors Fernando de Fuentes, Emilio Fernndez, Luis Buuel, Juan Bustillo Oro, Adolfo Best Maugard, and Julio Bracho sought to create a unique national cinema that, through the stories it told and the ways it told them, was wholly Mexican. The Classical Mexican Cinema traces the emergence and evolution of this Mexican cinematic aesthetic, a distinctive film form designed to express lo mexicano.Charles Ramrez Berg begins by locating the classical styles precinematic roots in the work of popular Mexican artist Jos Guadalupe Posada at the turn of the twentieth century. He also looks at the dawning of Mexican classicism in the poetics of Enrique Rosas El Automvil Gris, the crowning achievement of Mexicos silent filmmaking era and the film that set the stage for the Golden Age films. Berg then analyzes mature examples of classical Mexican filmmaking by the predominant Golden Age auteurs of three successive decades. Drawing on neoformalism and neoauteurism within a cultural studies framework, he brilliantly reveals how the poetics of Classical Mexican Cinema deviated from the formal norms of the Golden Age to express a uniquely Mexican sensibility thematically, stylistically, and ideologically.

Unfortunately, my copy arrived with a few pages damaged, and it felt rushed. The themes discussed are fascinating, but the physical quality of the book was a letdown. I expected better, especially for a series focused on film studies.

Not What I Expected
I was hoping for more visual content, but it’s mostly text. While the insights into the poetics of these films are interesting, I found some sections to drag on a bit. Still, it’s informative if you’re willing to put in the effort to read through.
