"'I believe that we must use cinema for its enormous power to alter perception and not soothe the rich,' she says. 'It’s not about delivering a message but rather about showing how an idea functions.'"

Thank you @carlosfilm and @latimes for this story on Lucrecia Martel and Our Land.

ATTENBERG
directed by Athina Rachel Tsangari
Greece, 2010, 97 min

+

CHEVALIER
directed by Athina Rachel Tsangari
Greece, Germany, 2015, 105 min

Join us on 5/6 as our Athina Rachel Tsangari retrospective moves to the Los Feliz 3 (@am_cinematheque) for an evening pairing of the Greek director's most beloved and influential features.

ATTENBERG - Q&A w/ Carson Lund (EEPHUS);
CHEVALIER - Q&A w/ Christopher Blauvelt (DP for THE MASTERMIND; MAY DECEMBER)

Bio link for tickets. 🎟️

About ATTENBERG:
In its irreverent use of (new) Nouvelle Vague, musical, melodrama, and nature documentary, ATTENBERG symbolically visualizes a change in generation and perspective as a father and daughter gently negotiate their individual rites of passage. The film follows a visionary architect who has come home to die in the vanishing industrial town that is his legacy to his daughter. Meanwhile, his daughter (played by Ariane Labed) is exploring the mysteries of kissing with her girlfriend, and the beyond with a visiting engineer. Tsangari’s film—with a soundtrack featuring Françoise Hardy and Suicide—is poised between sincerity and hilarity, tradition and experimentation.

About CHEVALIER:
Six men set out on the Aegean Sea aboard a yacht, and before long, male bonding and one-upmanship give way to a loosely defined yet hotly contested competition to determine which of them is “the best in general.” As the games and trials grow more elaborate and absurd—everything is up for judgment, from sleeping positions to cholesterol levels to furniture-assembly skills—insecurities emerge and power relations shift. As in her breakthrough ATTENBERG, Tsangari balances anthropological precision with a wry and wholly original sense of humor. Impeccably staged, crisply photographed, and buoyed by eclectic soundtrack choices (Petula Clark, Mark Lanegan), this maritime psychodrama becomes both funnier and richer in its implications as it progresses. What begins as a lampoon of bourgeois machismo and male anxiety develops into an incisive allegory for the state of contemporary Greece, and leaves a final impression as an empathetic, razor-sharp study of human nature itself.

"I think objectivity is not possible, nor do I find it useful."

Lucrecia Martel talks with @brandon_streussnig about crafting her first documentary with Our Land (Nuestra Tierra), starting anew with every film, and why it's impossible to lie.
