Synopsis

Argentinian director Lisandro Alonso has always made slow, poetic films that are low on dialogue and heavy on powerful landscapes and inner mood; Jauja is his first to use a screenwriting partner and a professional cast. Viggo Mortensen plays a 19th-century Danish engineer who is in a remote part of Patagonia with his 15-year-old daughter, leading a surveying project in the name of European colonialism. When his daughter elopes with a local soldier, the engineer heads into the intimidating wilderness to try to find them. Scott Foundas (Variety) called the results a "hallucinatory head-trip Western."

Lisandro Alonso--Argentina--2014--109 mins.
