Director: Lucrecia Martel Run Time: 100 min. Format: DCP Rating: NR Release Year: 2001 Language: Spanish with English subtitles

This Argentinean tale, which revolves around a group of families passing summer vacation in a rural country house, does not rely on a concrete plot line, but rather roves, rambles, and stumbles upon each new event. No event, no action, no exchange of words, no scene of the movie is more or less important than another. Instead, the film continues nonsequentially in what feels like a prolonged wait.
