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.
