With new films constantly coming out and the launch of his El Rey Network television channel, he receives unceasing coverage in the entertainment media, but systematic scholarly study of Rodriguezs films is only just beginning.\n\nThe Cinema of Robert Rodriguez offers the first extended investigation of this important filmmake.
