- This 296-page monograph, the product of protracted research, is a highly original, sophisticated and wide-ranging work of film scholarship. Its rigorous and cogent argument is supported through detailed case studies around the figures of the monster, the child, the recluse and the icon in Cuban film, an impressive, painstakingly elaborated theoretical framework and deep understanding of socio-historical context. This book’s broad research scope allows it to make a substantial contribution to contemporary studies of national cinema, to the connections between film and national identity and to cinema’s relationship to theory.
