Film Sean Axmaker on Lisandro Alonso
Posted by Lindy West on Thu, Nov 12, 2009 at 4:31 PM
- Alonso's Liverpool
Alonso’s films are about lone men, isolated by some combination of circumstance, choice, and temperament, and their movement through their landscapes. In La Libertad, it’s the logger in the forest (with a brief trip into a village hacked into the middle of the wilds). In Los Muertos (2004), it’s a man released from prison making his way up river to his village home and a reunion with his daughter (it could be either reconciliation or retribution, given the film’s uneasy tone). And in Fantasma (2006), the (non)actors from these two films go to see a screening of Los Muertos in a cinema so empty it’s unnerving.

Sweet!
Then again, I'm looking forward to the Italian Film Fest (which has some rare lesbian and gay films too) at SIFF Cinema at Seattle Center.
