"Violated Frames is a watershed, must-read work of adult film history, Latin American film studies, and feminist scholarship. It navigates a richly conceived 'bad archive' to reveal Isabel Sarli and Armando Bó as corporeal experimenters whose sensational legacy impacted a critical period in Argentine history as well as global film culture. Victoria Ruétalo boldly reframes our understanding of the relation between the sex film archive, authorship, performance, embodiment, film censorship, and the nation, painting a fascinating picture of Sarli's star body’s creative labor and radical singularity."—Elena Gorfinkel, author of Lewd Looks: American Sexploitation Cinema in the 1960s
"Violated Frames draws readers into its well-theorized exploration of the Argentine filmmaker and star partnership, and doesn’t let go until three hundred exhilarating pages later.”—Dolores Tierney, author of New Transnationalisms in Contemporary Latin American Cinemas
