*/SECUENCIAS. REVISTA DE HISTORIA DEL CINE, /**ISSUE 45*

*/Secuencias /*launches a new issue composed of five articles, as well 
as book and DVD reviews. There is also an editorial text *in memory of 
José Luis Martínez Montalbán*, our journal’s first Editorial Chief, who 
passed away on 4^th November 2016.

The firstarticle, *‘C**o**mprehensive, Fruitless, Possessive, Inept 
Ones: Figures of the Mother in the Cinema of John Ford’*written by 
Nekane E. Zubiaur Gorozika, offers a classification of the diverse 
figures of the mother in John Ford’s cinema, focusing on their behaviour 
at the moment of the separation from their son.

Román Setton’s contribution, *‘Manuel Romero’s Early Crime Films and 
their Relation with Previous Crime Representation in the Argentine 
Cinema’*,**fills a gap in the academic publications about Argentinian 
crime film history analizying Romero’s three early crime films: /Noches 
de Buenos Aires/ (1935), /El caballo del pueblo/ (1935) and /La vuelta 
de Rocha/ (1937).

In the following article,*‘Between Religious Belief and Political Will: 
A Comparative Study of the Films /Todo es ausencia/ (1984), by Rodolfo 
Kuhn, and /En nombre de Dios/ (1987), by Patricio Guzmán’*,**Paola 
Margulis analyzes comparatively both Latin American documentaries about 
the relation between the Catholic Church and the dictatorial past of 
Argentina and Chile.

María Lorenzo Hernández´s *‘Robin Wright Reloaded. Nostalgia as 
Narrative Device in Ari Folman’s /The Congress /(2013)’ *relates 
Folman’s dystopian film with Morin and Dovjenko’s speculative theories 
of /total film/; Genette and Feyersinger’s /metalepsis/ concept; and 
Burch’s idea of the film as a /Frankesteinian/ /medium/, among others.

Lourdes Monterrubio Ibáñez writes *‘/Colossal Youth/ (2006), by Pedro 
Costa. **The Denied Letter, Speech, Memory and Resistance’ *where she 
studies the presence of the epistolary device on Costa’s film as a 
resistance act by means of speech and memory, against the 
marginalization and exclusion suffered by immigrants.

Finally, we have our regular book and DVD reviews feature. This issue 
includes texts about some of the main titles published between 2015 and 
2017.
