Series: Spanish and Latin-American Filmmakers

Now available in paperback, this is the first academic book dedicated to the filmmaking of the three-best known Mexican-born directors, Guillermo del Toro, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu and Alfonso Cuaron. Deborah Shaw examines the career trajectories of the directors and presents a detailed analysis of their most significant films with a focus on both the texts and the production contexts in which they were made. These include studies on del Toro's Cronos/Chronos, El laberinto del fauno/Pan's Labyrinth, and Hellboy II: The Golden Army; Inarritu's Amores Perros, 21 Grams and Babel; and Cuaron's Solo con tu pareja/Love in the Time of Hysteria, Y tu mama tambien, and Children of Men.

Reviews for The Three Amigos: The Transnational Filmmaking of Guillermo Del Toro, Alejandro GonzáLez IñáRritu, and Alfonso CuaróN

Shaw concisely and efficiently utilizes a number of theoretical fields in her discussion, including careful scrutiny of the marketing, profits and the attendant creative freedoms and constraints these suppose, in addition to carrying out close textual analysis of key stylistic and technical characteristics of the films. This is an important book that convincingly argues that these three amigos, who are the most successful filmmakers of Mexican origin in financial and international terms, are exemplars of transnational filmmaking and demonstrates the multiple ways in which their 'films have caused critics to rethink classificatory borders' (225). -- Niamh Thornton.
