From the iconic Buenos Aires Obelisk to the Hilton International Hotel, the shopping center to the café and the Le Corbusier-designed Curutchet House to the gated community, architecture in these films evokes the political. Tracing architecture’s expression through six films produced since the 1990s—\u003ci\u003ePizza birra faso\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e Mundo grúa\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e Nueve reinas, La niña santa, La antena \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e El hombre de al lado\u003c\/i\u003e—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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2017-08-01\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319551906\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-55191-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 162\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47692705431692,"sku":"9783319551906","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319551906.jpg?v=1776696505","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319551906","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
