<-- back Only one thing happens in this film, five minutes in, but we don't see it. The rest is a blur: a road by a canal in Argentina, a rainstorm, a senile aunt, a nightly car ride, a heroine who keeps drifting into and out of conversations, always surrounded by servants, gradually disappearing in a haze that is not just a personal condition, amnesia, but quite obviously the constitution of an entire society. Political cinema in Latin America (and elsewhere) has always been focused on the poor, who are the most obvious subjects, and also the most readily available, but it has yet to show us how miserable life is for those who are not poor, how precarious day-to-day existence has become for a class that has deprived itself of the most basic forms of access to reality. Lucrecia Martel's film does precisely that, and it's a good start: a soft-focus prison, a haunted house, a series of superimpositions of fragmented geographies and discontinuous mental states, and even though the ghosts of the poor (or the memories of military dictatorship) are barely present, it's still a horror film. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- pirate cinema berlin u kottbusser tor sunday june 5, 8:30 pm the headless woman lucrecia martel, 2008, 89 min, english subs https://0xdb.org/1221141 12 seats, rsvp first come first serve location in separate mail trailers: https://piratecinema.org/trailers/#20160605-01 https://piratecinema.org/trailers/#20160605-02 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- () >< pirate cinema berlin www.piratecinema.org <-- back |
