| Abstract | This study compares Lucrecia Martel’s La ciénaga (Argentina 2001) with Silvio Caiozzi’s Coronación (Chile 2000) in order to analyze how they represent the immediate pre-economic crisis in Argentina and the politico-military crisis in Chile. Through the analysis of these films, I show that the decadence of the elite and its properties stands in contrast to the resistance of Isabel and Estela, young, non-white domestic servants who reject sexual advances from their employers and ultimately leave with the help of their boyfriends. Although the young women have little hope of bettering their social situations, the films reveal a move toward a renewed focus on the working class as a site of resistance. | en_US |
