Sujata Mishra is a very assiduous and hard-working poet who impresses me with her insight into poetry. I understand that she writes very well in Odia and her poems are very intriguing in English too. She already has collections of poetry to her credit that are well spoken of and I am very happy that she is bringing out Quiet Whispers, her latest one, soon. I wish her all the best with it as I have read many of her poems in English and have found them really noteworthy for making me think and her experiment with post modernism and the language. These poems are from an earlier time, soft and more in the romantic vein and direct, but still all the hallmarks of good poetry are there in them. – Prof. Ampat Koshy, Poet

In 1931 Antonio Moreno completed Santa, Mexico's first true sound film. In it he established one of the foremost genres of Latin American cinema--the popular melodrama--which continues to this day. Latin American filmmakers came to the fore in the fifties and sixties and, as 1992's Como agua para chocolate (Like Water for Chocolate) showed, Latin American films continue to be a major part of the international film scene. In this work over 300 of the most significant films from Argentina, Brazil, Cuba, Mexico, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and other Latin American countries are covered. Each entry includes the English title, director, year of release, running time, language, country and a detailed plot synopsis. Notes about the production and the filmmakers are also provided for many entries.
