Thornton masterfully rides the line of aiming for a general, yet academic, readership by never taking Mexican film and cultural knowledge for granted, and still satisfying the niche Mexicanist reader who already knows Félix. * CHASQUI * Thornton's monograph is engagingly written. This is an excellent and compelling monograph. Once I started reading, I could not put it down, a rare case for an academic work. * BULLETIN OF SPANISH VISUAL STUDIES * Author InformationNIAMH THORNTON is Professor of Latin American Studies at the University of Liverpool, UK.
