Antonio Barrenechea’s Studies in Groovy Gothic Cinema examines “groovy gothic” films – defined as “cinema which dramatizes a clash between 1960s countercultures and an eighteenth-century genre [Gothic horror]” – in the context of genre, society, the business of film production and marketing, and auteur theory. Barrenechea’s multi-disciplinary methodology provides valuable context for his “hemispheric sixties” analysis, covering films made on the margins of what one might call the “established” film industries in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and Canada, during a period when film form and content were undergoing significant changes. Engagingly written and thought-provoking, Studies in Groovy Gothic Cinema is a valuable work of original research and analysis which makes a significant contribution to film studies literature. * David Wilt, Professorial Lecturer in Film Studies, The George Washington University, USA *
