Film Screening – “La ciénaga”

Downtown Berkeley

Summer rot sets in around a fetid swimming pool in Lucrecia Martel's hypnotic Salta trilogy opener. Two families circle the polluted water as children play and adults drown in ennui, alcohol, and barely suppressed tension. The immersive sound design hums with distant thunder that promises more than rain.

Atmospheric thriller
Social commentary
