"A beautifully composed, disturbing debut, remarkable for its intense physicality." "Unusually affecting...a remarkable debut."
- Richard Pena, Film Comment
"Every scene bounces with a class rage and attention to detail that would
have made Buñuel proud." Written and Directed by Lucrecia Martel Two large households, complete with children, servants and pets, spend a torpid
summer together in an over-the-hill resort town in Northwest Argentina. The
swimming pool is filthy, broken glass litters the deck (from one drink too many),
sullen teenagers abound, and the lush vegetation surrounding the house looks
as though it's about to make its move. Harold Pinter's characters would feel
right at home in Lucrecia Martel's astounding debut feature, its sensibility
balancing precariously between black humor and palpable foreboding. Acclaimed
Argentine actress Graciela Borges presides.
- Noah Cowan, Filmmaker
