Plot
In the nineteenth century, a Danish engineer, Gunnar Dinesen, takes part in a military campaign in Patagonia, with his teenage daughter. When she runs away with a soldier, he sets out alone into the landscape to search for her, and the film becomes a dreamlike journey. Lisandro Alonso's 2014 film, with Viggo Mortensen, is shot in a boxy format, and won the FIPRESCI prize at Cannes.
Sinekatalog’s take
Lisandro Alonso's Patagonian odyssey follows a Danish engineer searching for his runaway daughter in barren land. Spare, mysterious and gorgeously framed, with Viggo Mortensen, it drifts into a hallucinatory, dreamlike finale.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
