LUCRECIA MARTEL | ARGENTINA | 2001 | 101 MIN | NR | SPANISH
Underneath the sweltering Argentine sun lies a dysfunctional bourgeois family slowly disintegrating as simmering tensions rise to the surface in Lucrecia Martel’s critically acclaimed, darkly funny feature debut.
Cast: Graciela Borges, Mercedes Morán, Martin Adjemián, Sofia Bertolotto
Part of the Philadelphia Film Society's Director Series: Lucrecia Martel series.
In 2001, Argentine auteur Lucrecia Martel firmly established and defined the New Argentine Cinema movement with her astonishing debut film that explores the social and physical decay of an increasingly removed middle class destined for destruction. Her distinct visual and sound design, along with playfully cryptic scripts, create unforgettable, singular works that may elicit laughs, anger, fear–often all at once.
