Description

""This book critically examines how exploration and discovery films--movies that feature real or imagined explorers and expeditions--creatively feature the geography of Latin America. It focuses on how places and geographical features are scripted into film plots and artistically depicted, and demonstrates that place is as important as any [other] character in a film, especially in this genre. Nineteen key films are analyzed.
