Abstract
Not just another dictionary in the well-known Rowman & Littlefield “Historical Dictionaries” series – South American Cinema is a special kind of book for anyone delving into the broad field of national and regional cinema encompassed by the term South American. Author Peter H. Rist is a professor at Concordia University in Montreal and his PhD thesis dealt with the early films of John Ford. Rist is better known within film circles as the author of several papers on experimental Japanese cinema, so his solo venture into South American cinema is quite unexpected. It is even more surprising that he has produced a 701 page book of this stature on his own – definitely a huge task.
不仅仅是著名的罗曼和利特菲尔德“历史词典”系列中的另一本词典,《南美电影》是一本特殊的书,适合任何深入研究南美这个词所包含的国家和地区电影的广泛领域的人。作者Peter H. Rist是蒙特利尔康考迪亚大学的教授,他的博士论文涉及约翰·福特的早期电影。瑞斯特在电影界更为人所知的是,他发表了几篇关于日本实验电影的论文,所以他独自进入南美电影领域是相当出人意料的。更令人惊讶的是,他独自完成了一本701页的书,这绝对是一项艰巨的任务。
