'La Cienaga' Q&A | Lucrecia Martel

Following a screening of La Cienaga during her retrospective, Lucrecia Martel discusses her debut film with Dennis Lim, with translation by Carlos Gutiérrez.
The great Lucrecia Martel ventures into the realm of historical fiction and makes the genre entirely her own in this adaptation of Antonio di Benedetto’s 1956 classic of Argentinean literature. In the late 18th century, in a far-flung corner of what seems to be Paraguay, the title character, an officer of the Spanish crown (Daniel Giménez Cacho) born in the Americas, waits in vain for a transfer to a more prestigious location. Martel renders Zama’s world-his daily regimen of small humiliations and petty politicking-as both absurd and mysterious, and as he increasingly succumbs to lust and paranoia, subject to a creeping disorientation. Precise yet dreamlike, and thick with atmosphere, Zama is a singular and intoxicating experience, a welcome return from one of contemporary cinema’s truly brilliant minds. An NYFF55 Main Slate selection. A Strand Releasing release.
The Film Society of Lincoln Center is devoted to supporting the art and elevating the craft of cinema. The only branch of the world-renowned arts complex Lincoln Center to shine a light on the everlasting yet evolving importance of the moving image, this nonprofit organization was founded in 1969 to celebrate American and international film. Via year-round programming and discussions; its annual New York Film Festival; and its publications, including Film Comment, the U.S.’s premier magazine about films and film culture, the Film Society endeavors to make the discussion and appreciation of cinema accessible to a broader audience, as well as to ensure that it will remain an essential art form for years to come.

She always is able to end her interviews with a very powerful final lesson.

[@nahuelzapatrustegui6695]

Lucrecia Martel , Julia Solomonoff and Lucía Puenzo. They are the three most important female filmmakers in Argentine cinematography.

[@marialauraviteri1407]

I understand that translating it's hard but that guy could try to breathe more and don't rush because he missed several things

[@jasilen]

This guy completely destroyed most of her points when translating. Significant details are almost always lost. She is dropping good stuff, and he is destroying it completely!!!!

[@kubolor1234]

I need to learn Spanish then.

[@jcc6913]

Well he doesn’t just summarize but dumb down everything she says so whenever she goes on a tangent using very specific language he just paraphrases a third of what she says on a very dispassionate generalized way.

insoportable el traductor

[@cabassotti]

It's only watchable if you mute the video during the translation.

Vine a ver si alguien había dicho algo sobre el traductor... de terror.

[@fbueller]

I thought this was Drew Barrymore from the screen grab at first.

[@mosesgladstone8274]

I thought it was a homeless female Geddy Lee impersonator on a lighted stage..... wow.... unreal

OPEROPRIMISMO ????? PERDÓN MI IGNORANCIA , PUEDE ALGUIEN DECIRME QUE SIGNIFICA ???... DESDE YA MUCHAS GRACIAS ...

[@lilianacascone9805]

Se refiere a la opera prima o primera obra de un director o autor. A pesar de haber hecho ya varias películas, Martel siente que como pasa mucho tiempo entre realizar una película y la siguiente, tiene la sensación de que la nueva película es siempre la primera, o sea su opera prima. Es por eso que ella no siente que sea una persona que pertenece al ambiente del cine. Es decir, un constante re comenzar de cero.
