Discussion follows with director Lisandro Alonso
 
The films of Argentinian “slow cinema” auteur Lisandro Alonso deliver a singular intensity in this quick-cut age. Long takes, abundant silence and sparse dialogue accompany characters across hostile terrain. In Jauja (the name suggests a fabled city like El Dorado), Viggo Mortensen is a Danish engineer on a desperate search for his teenage daughter in 1880s remote Patagonia. With echoes of John Ford, 2001 and Lewis Carroll, Jauja is an astonishingly beautiful and gripping tale. D: Lisandro Alonso, Argentina, subtitled, 2014, 109m
