Alas, while Kino Lorber has many films from around the world: the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Russia and Europe, it is true that our collection could use an infusion of Latin blood. The only film I could highly recommend (and it comes with PPR) is Tony Manero:
As Augusto Pinochet holds Chile in the grip of dictatorship, a fifty year old man obsessed with John Travolta's character from Saturday Night Fever imitates his idol each weekend in a small bar on the outskirts of Santiago. A stinging allegory for the corruption and egomania of Augusto Pinochet. "An indelible portrait of a sociopath with the soul of a zombie." - The New York Times. http://kinolorberedu.com/film.php?id=1082 Additional Latin American Studies titles can be found here: http://kinolorberedu.com/index.php?category_id=73 Best, Elizabeth Elizabeth Sheldon Vice President Kino Lorber, Inc. 333 W. 39th St., Suite 503 New York, NY 10018 (212) 629-6880 www.kinolorberedu.com On Oct 3, 2011, at 5:24 PM, Milena Jankovic wrote: > Hi Natalie, > > Cinema Guild distributes a number of films from and about Latin America and > Spain.
