Lisandro Alono: "No Man's Land - The Cinema of Lisandro Alonso"
Harvard Film Archive
Latin American cinema usually brings to mind baroque
extravagance like that of Guillermo del Toro. Not so with Argentine filmmaker Lisandro Alonso, whose rigorous
minimalism possesses an intensity and elegance of its own. The Harvard Film Archive
is presenting "No Man's Land - The Cinema of Lisandro Alonso" this weekend, a
retrospective of his four features beginning today with Los muertos (2004), in
which an ex-convict takes on the jungle and the camera takes on both. To addle
matters, the HFA is screening it with Fantasma (2006), in which the star of Los
muertos searches a Buenos Aires
theater for the premiere of his film. Alonso will be present at 24 Quincy St, Cambridge
| 7 pm | $12 | 617.495.4700 or //hcl.harvard.edu/hfa.
