Tracing architecture's expression through six films produced since the 1990s-Pizza birra faso, Mundo grua, Nueve reinas, La nina santa, La antena and El hombre de al lado-Amanda Holmes studies how architecture in cinema elicits political memory, underscores marginalization and class discrepancies, creates nostalgia for neighborhoods and re-evaluates existing communities. Generously illustrated and carefully researched, the book offers an in-depth reading of key contemporary Argentine films and a fresh architectural approach to film analysis.
