Join us to celebrate the release of the sixth issue of Notebook magazine titled “In the moment of match-strike”. Notebook is a print-only magazine, devoted to the art and the culture of cinema. Created, prepared and published by MUBI.
This screening of Lucrecia Martel’s La Ciénaga is inspired by a piece in this latest issue by writer and filmmaker Durga Chew-Bose, where she pinpoints cinematic moments that evoke a timeless childhood.
The life of two women and their families in a small provincial town of Salta, Argentina.
Coagulating into a deft critique of conservative Argentina, murky water, red wine, and blood trickle across Lucrecia Martel’s miasmic, impressive debut. The first entry in a loose trilogy set in her native Salta, La ciénaga made an indelible mark on global art cinema at the turn of the millennium. – MUBI
The screening will be followed by a post-screening discussion with Durga Chew-Bose.
Copies of Issue 6 will be available for purchase at the screening.
