Films like Zama and The Headless Woman have made Lucrecia Martel a
fixture on festival marquees and critic's best lists. Though often
allied with mainstream figures and genre frameworks, Martel works
within art cinema, and since her 2001 debut The Swamp she has
become one of international film's most acclaimed auteurs.Gerd
Gemunden offers a career-spanning analysis of a filmmaker dedicated
to revealing the ephemeral, fortuitous, and endless variety of
human experience. Martel's focus on sound, touch, taste, and smell
challenge film's usual emphasis on what a viewer sees. By merging
of these and other experimental techniques with heightened realism,
she invites audiences into film narratives at once unresolved,
truncated, and elliptical. Gemunden aligns Martel's filmmaking
methods with the work of other international directors who
criticize-and pointedly circumvent-the high-velocity speeds of
today's cinematic storytelling. He also explores how Martel's
radical political critique forces viewers to rethink entitlement,
race, class, and exploitation of indigenous peoples within
Argentinian society and beyond.
