ESSENTIAL LATIN AMERICAN FILMS

In 2 tiers, in year order, most essential first. We have had some superb Latin American lists by Apursansar, R, Kuxa Kanema, Arsaib, Kolar, Angel and others.

My favourites:

The Battle of Chile,
Trenque Lauquen,
Exterminating Angel,
The Invisible Life of Euridice Gusmao,
Embrace of the Serpent,
Lucia,
Zama,
Autumn Days,
Men and Women,
The Hour of the Furnaces,
Roma,
Chronicle of a Boy Alone.

Viridiana and Pan’s Labyrinth have some Mexican funding but are more Spanish than Latin American.
