Moving from mid-century Mexican cinema to recent films staged in Los Angeles and Mexico City, Susan Dever analyzes melodrama's double function as a genre and as a sensibility, revealing coincidences between movie morals and political pieties in the civic-minded films of Emilio Fernández, Matilde Landeta, Allison Anders, and Marcela Fernández Violante. These filmmakers' rationally and emotionally engaged cinema?offering representations of indigenous peoples and poor urban women who alternately endorsed "civilizing" projects and voiced resistance to such totalization?both interrupts and sustains fictions of national coherence in an increasingly transnational world. 606 $aMotion pictures$zMexico$xHistory 606 $aMelodrama in motion pictures 606 $aMexican Americans in motion pictures 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory. 615 0$aMelodrama in motion pictures. 615 0$aMexican Americans in motion pictures. 676 $a791.43/0972 700 $aDever$b Susan$f1955-$01806588 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910972202603321 996 $aCelluloid nationalism and other melodramas$94355853 997 $aUNINA
