/The cinema of Lucrecia Martel /provides a comprehensive analysis of the 
work of the acclaimed Argentine director, whose elusive and elliptical 
feature films have garnered worldwide recognition since her 2001 debut 
/La ciénaga/. The book situates Martel's features and unstudied short 
films in relation to trends in recent national and international filmmaking.


This volume considers existing critical work on Martel's oeuvre, and 
proposes new ways of understanding it, in particular through desire, the 
use of the child's perspective, and through the senses and perception. 
Martin also offers an analysis of the politics of Martel's films, 
showing how they can be understood as sites of transformation and 
possibility, develops queer approaches to Martel's films, and shows how 
they offer new forms of cinematic pleasure. The cinema of Lucrecia 
Martel combines traditional plot and gaze analysis with an understanding 
of film as a material object, to explore the films' sensory experiments 
and their challenges to dominant cinematic forms./
