Abstract
This paper aims to develop heterogeneously narratives of today’s LatinAmerican cinema by using concepts such as «melodrama» and «melodramatic»; terms that can be found in some fi lms that belong to this part of the world. The essay will try to organize and update the concepts and cultural matrix of the melodramatic concept in three Latin American fi lms: «Amores Perros» (México, 2000), «Whisky» (Uruguay, 2004) and «Sábado» (Chile, 2002). In some way, these three fi lms can be conceived as three different strategies to describe the Modern experience.
