Attuned to bodies, gestures, and the rituals of daily life, the films of Argentinian director Lisandro Alonso are sensual journeys into unknown territories. Following his so-called Lonely Man Trilogy, which established the filmmaker as a preeminent auteur of ‘slow cinema,’ Lisandro returned in 2014 with Jauja a grand, metaphysical western that combined Danish and Argentinian influences. Filled with breath-taking imagery and dream-like ruptures in space and time, it captured our imagination and never let go.
