Résumé :
|
A sober portrait of middle-class torpor and decadence, Lucrecia Martel's debut feature covers well-trod ground, but she gives the material her own imprimatur. Set in present-day Argentina, La Cienaga offers a snapshot of a culture stuck in a sweltering rut. The movie tells the story of two families' summer holiday, spent in a decaying estate in the mountains. Physical details accumulate: the insistent clinking of ice cubes in glasses, the scrape of metal chairs on a concrete patio, people splayed in beds trying to sleep through the humidity.
