Join us for Lucrecia Martel’s brilliant and meditative examination of colonialism and existentialism; a bleakly funny and oft surreal historical drama. Zama, an officer of the Spanish Crown born in South America, waits for a letter from the King granting him a transfer from the town in which he is stagnating, to a better place. His situation is delicate. He must ensure that nothing overshadows his transfer. He is forced to accept submissively every task entrusted to him by successive Governors who come and go as he stays behind. The years go by and the letter from the King never arrives. When Zama notices everything is lost, he joins a party of soldiers that go after a dangerous bandit. Beautiful, ponderous, and philosophical, Martel challenges the viewer, but rewards them with a subdued and nuanced trance of historical cinema.
