Book of the Week
Hey, it's a book of film essays written by an actual Latina. And yet she refers to her Peruvian ancestry only once. Almost as if she were a regular film critic. Or a film philosopher.
A Latina film philosopher... What a concept!
Seriously, I found this book quite interesting. I look forward to reading more of Ms. Chocano's work in the future.
Edited to Add:
If there's one major problem with this book, it's the way Ms. Chocano's writing makes me want to think twice about my review of Lars and the Real Girl. And that's hardly a bad problem to have.
