(2004) Argentina. Director: Lisandro Alonso. Not rated. Through a clearing in the dense jungle, we see the dead bodies of two young people. Twenty years later, an old man named Vargas is released from prison. He heads downriver to find his daughter and slowly allows the jungle to reclaim him along the way. This gorgeously-shot film explores the boundaries between nature and civilization and the violence that lurks in both. Winner of the International Critics Prize at the Venice Film Festival. In Spanish and Guarani with English subtitles. 82 minutes. Financial support provided by Mimi and Scott Manzler.
