In 1880s Patagonia, Danish engineer Captain Gunnar Dinesen joins the Argentine army with his teenage daughter, Ingeborg. When she runs off with a young soldier, Dinesen defies orders and sets off alone into hostile territory to find her—beginning a solitary quest.

Remarkably bold filmmaking from Argentina’s Lisandro Alonso, the enigmatic Jauja is a postcolonial political allegory rendered in witty shots dazzlingly colored and composed. A film hypnotic and transfixing, minimalist and expressionistic. Starring Viggo Mortensen.
