En este artículo exploraremos la conformación de las masculinidades a través de las representaciones cinematográficas en América latina, específicamente en la obra del mexicano Luis Estrada, parte fundamental del llamado Nuevo cine mexicano en sus obras exhibidas entre 1999 y 2010. Aunque el universo de estudios de masculinidades es cada vez más amplio, las repr esentaciones cinematográficas no han sido muy exploradas.
