https://cosfordcinema.com/event/sight-sound-deep-cuts-la-cienaga-2001/Conducted every 10 years, the Sight & Sound Best Movies of All Time poll is voted on by film critics, writers, professors and other experts in the field of cinema. Although the primary list consists of 100 movies, the poll actually includes a total of 200 films. The Cosford Cinema will be showcasing ten selections from the second half of the list every Sunday over the fall from Sept. 10-Dec. 3.
LA CIENAGA | 2001 | WRITER-DIRECTOR: Lucrecia Martel | WITH: Mercedes Moran, Graciela Borges, Martin Adjemian, Sofia Bertolotto | RUNNING TIME: 1HR 41M | UNRATED: Sexual content, nudity, mild vulgar language, adult themes | IN Spanish with English subtitles | 4K DCP projection
With a radical and disturbing take on narrative, beautiful cinematography, and a highly sophisticated use of on- and offscreen sound, director Lucrecia Martel turns her tale of a dissolute bourgeois extended family, whiling away the hours of one sweaty, sticky summer, into a cinematic marvel.
This visceral take on class, nature, sexuality, and the ways that political turmoil and social stagnation can manifest in human relationships is a drama of extraordinary tactility, and one of the great contemporary film debuts.
"In late 2001, a fresh political crisis exploded in Argentina when further economic restrictions enacted by a new administration fueled a spontaneous uprising. Made just before this, Martel’s film, with the restrained violence that imbues its performances and dialogue, became a rare expression of an extremely troubled moment in the nation’s recent history.
"It is a masterpiece of singular maturity, evincing none of the missteps that often plague first works; there’s no clumsiness or vacillation or insecurity in these images. La Ciénaga announces a body of work that, from the beginning, has radiated a rare perfection." - David Oubiña
