Vidiots is thrilled to welcome the legendary and luminous filmmaker Lucrecia Martel for a very special evening featuring her mesmerizing mystery The Headless Woman.
A bourgeois middle-aged dentist named Veronica (MARIA ONETTO) drives alone on a dirt road, becomes distracted, and runs over something. Immediately she becomes disoriented, unmoored from her identity and reality, like a sleepwalker who’s actually awake. As the week go on, she becomes obsessed with the possibility that she may have killed someone: a young boy whose body is found in a roadside canal. Veronica tries to piece together what happened while her husband systematically erases her tracks. A chilling parable about a woman in shock, Lucrecia Martel’s third feature explores the intricacies of class and the role of women in a male-dominated society.
This screening will be preceded by an introduction by Lucrecia Martel. Join us at 6:30pm for a screening of her newest film Our Land (Nuestra Tierra) which will be followed by a conversation with Martel.
