Best movie from New Argentine Cinema, 8 May 2001
10/10
Author: Detrer from Argentina

Lucrecia Martel gives us solid images and a very creative narrative in this story of two families living in Salta, north of Argentina. The film goes to little details from spiritual frustrations of adults, teenagers and children. Sexuality, love, cruelty, incest, racism are the issues in this realist and poetic view of the life of every day people. The narrative is a fragmented story of different characters that confronts your almost tragic way of surviving. Very strong performances and the sound is a very creative work (of art). Best movie from "New Argentine Cinema". Won Alfred Bauer Award in the Berlin Film Fest.
