Closing Film: EUREKA

Lisandro Alonso
France, Germany, Portugal, Mexico, Argentina, 2023
146 min.

Sadie spends a long night waiting for her aunt, to no avail. Hurt, she decides to begin her journey with the help of her grandfather: she will fly through time and space to South America. She will stop watching old black and white westerns that do not represent her in any way, and everything will feel different when she hears the dreams of other people, those who live in the forest.

An old Cree legend says that a rabbit once wished to fly to the moon, and the only bird that offered to fly him there was the crane. A magical, transcendental flight of a crane crowns this newest work by Argentine director Lisandro Alonso, an undisputed maestro of slow cinema. But one can perhaps dare to extend the scope of this fable’s central metaphor further. Eureka, the film in itself, is the crane, the moon is the history of cinema (from John Ford’s westerns to Werner Herzog’s epics about colonialism) — and, finally, the rabbit is us, the spectators, who allow ourselves to be transported to worlds both incredibly familiar and impossible at the same time.

Radu Jude | Duration 163 min.

Radu Jude’s newest social fresco focuses on Angela, an overworked and underpaid production assistant, who is tasked with casting the main character of a workplace safety video commissioned by a multinational company. However, the interviewee, a paraplegic man named Ovidiu, is not entirely aligned with the company's narrative.
