Lucrecia Martel’s La Ciénaga marked the debut of a remarkably fresh and unique voice in Argentine cinema. With its bold narrative style, stunning cinematography, and masterful use of sound both on and off screen, Martel transforms the story of a dysfunctional bourgeois family idling through a hot, sticky summer into a cinematic gem. Her visceral exploration of class dynamics, nature, sexuality, and the impact of political unrest and social inertia on human connections creates a drama that’s incredibly tactile and stands as one of the most impressive film debuts of this century.
