Synopsis

Director Lisandro Alonso offers an offbeat and wonderfully bizarre commentary on his singular filmmaking practice in this self-reflexive featurette which finds the star of Los Muertos, wandering through the Teatro San Martin in search of the film’s premiere.

Our take

Lisandro Alonso’s strikingly self-reflexive feature sees the theater as an intermediary space between documentary and fiction. As the camera wordlessly contemplates a screening of the director’s previous film, attended by its lead actor, the essence of cinema reveals itself as a ghostly seance.
