<p>The next stop on our journey through Latin America is 2005’s MADEINUSA. After some reviews, we talk about how this film is itself a disturbing experience for the viewers, to what extent it presents the main character as a ‘<em>femme</em> <em>fatale</em>', and why it works as a complete disruption of the ‘white saviour’ myth. </p>
<p><strong>Next Up</strong><br>
The next film in our Latin American Odyssey is Colombia’s EL PASEO (2010). </p>

<p><strong>Footnotes</strong><br>
Rob mentions a few cinematic touchstones for some of the visual stylings of this film: kabuki (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabuki" rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabuki</a>), the morality play (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morality_play" rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morality_play</a>), and anime (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anime" rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anime</a>). Some of this film’s ideas are also reminiscent of the film noir (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_noir" rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_noir</a>), particularly at the end. This is an interesting analysis of ‘white saviour’ films: <a href="http://movies.mxdwn.com/feature/a-critical-analysis-of-white-savior-films-and-why-you-should-avoid-them" rel="nofollow">movies.mxdwn.com/feature/a-critical-analysis-of-white-savior-films-and-why-you-should-avoid-them</a>. Finally, Rob mentioned tourism, in the context both of this film and of CITY OF GOD; this is a useful article about this, focused on the film’s geographical setting: <a href="http://barbieri.wordpress.ncsu.edu/files/2020/07/2020_Peru_SusTmo.pdf" rel="nofollow">barbieri.wordpress.ncsu.edu/files/2020/07/2020_Peru_SusTmo.pdf</a>.</p>
