La ciénaga

Lucrecia Martel / AR, ES, FR, 2001 / 103 min.

This cinematic wonder by Lucrecia Martel chronicles the disintegration of a wealthy family: red wine binges, murky swimming pools, spectral grandmothers, girl crushes and mad dogs. A ominous and sweltering debut that gets deep under the skin.
