Abstract

The following paper aims to review and analyze how Latin America’s colonialism  and  modernity  have  been  represented, built and interrogated in two major films of regional contemporary cinema: Memorias del Subdesarrollo (Memories  of  Underdevelopment) Cuba, 1968 and Pizza, Birra,  Faso (Pizza, Beer, Fag), Argentina, 1998. We have two questions to answer: What images of coloniality and modernity are pictured in these films? How are «coloniality» and «modernity» articulated in the selected films?
