Quote:
A fugitive, a fetishist and a detective walk through a mansion built in the 19th century on the banks of the River Plate. Within its walls, there are resonances, portraits of illustrious or unknown people, books, souvenirs, furniture from different periods and styles. At the heart of this secret order is a woman who has been portrayed throughout her life by painters of the Belle Epoque, by neoclassical sculptors, by avant-garde photographers. To reconstruct the history of these women, each of the visitors will create a fable, in which the essential names of the 20th century culture are intertwined. Among the visitor to Victoria Ocampo’s mansion we can mention the architect Le Coubusier, the composer Igor Stravinsky, the writers Graham Greene, Aldous Huxley, Waldo Frank, Albert Camus… You will also hear the whisper of two young writers cementing what will be a bond that will last for decades: Adolfo Bioy Casares and Jorge Luis Borges…

The post Mariano Llinás & Alejo Moguillansky – Tres fábulas de Villa Ocampo (2011) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

A decade in the making, Mariano Llinás’s La Flor is an unrepeatable labor of love and madness that redefines the concept of binge viewing. The director himself shows up at the start to preview the six episodes that await, each starring the same four remarkable actresses: Elisa Carricajo, Valeria Correa, Pilar Gamboa, and Laura Paredes. Overflowing with nested subplots and whiplash digressions, La Flor shape-shifts from a B-movie to a musical to a spy thriller to a category-defying metafiction—all of them without endings—to a remake of a very well-known French classic and, finally, to an enigmatic period piece that lacks a beginning (granted, all notions of beginnings and endings become fuzzy after 14 hours). An adventure in scale and duration, La Flor is a wildly entertaining exploration of the possibilities of fiction that lands somewhere close to its outer limits.

La Flor is presented in four parts:
Part I — 3h 30mn (episode 1 & 2)
Part II — 3h 10mn (episode 3, section 1 & 2)
Part III — 3h 24mn (episode 3, section 3 and episode 4, section 1)
Part IV — 3h 28mn (episode 4, section 2 and episodes 5 & 6)

Quote:
“One day I am going to pull the anchor that keeps my ship away from the seas”, is one of the most famous phrases of the Belgian poet Henri Michaux, to whom the film director Mariano Llinás decided to pay tribute with his new work in a pandemic.

Quote:
“Lifeguards, luxury hotels from early XXth Century, mermaids, sea animals and sand castles gather in this labyrinthine essay. A “documentary” about balnearios, Argentine bath resorts and the idea of cities dedicated exclusively to idleness, empty along the winter months and crowded in the summer.”

Quote:
A trip through the picturesque spas of the Argentine coast is what this documentary proposes. Sites that have remained the same over the years, that only really live in summer seasons. It is a fun look at the customs and the particular inhabitants of these sites, a universe alien to the outside world. After seeing stories like a town with half its streets under water, or a majestic hotel with a sordid past, one is left with the desire to see more, but it is quite entertaining. Presented with affection, it is like a longing for these spas that subsist despite the fact that the rest of the world left them behind and as if to reinforce this, it seems filmed at least 20 years ago and narrated by someone who at times seems to be emulating Neruda’s poems.

Quote:
Historias extraordinarias tells the adventures of three men known only as H (Agustin Mendilaharzu, doubling as cinematographer), X (director Mariano Llinás) and Z (Walter Jakob). These adventures come across as self-conscious constructions and journeys happening in the here and now. But though the strongest literary influences on Llinás’ fascinating screenplay are fiction writer Jorge Luis Borges and disciple Adolfo Bioy-Casares, it would be wrong to label Historias extraordinarias as literary per se: Instead, a viewer would have to stretch back to the grand serial silents of Louis Feuillade for something as ambitious as Llinás’ detailed telling of the three separate, intertwined tales, all involving men on quests in situations that force them to question who they really are. Llinás jumps between the storylines over 18 episodes, usually devoting no more than about 15 minutes at a time to any single one. The governing concept uniting the tales is how each man begins with a specific task, and then veers away from the straight-and-narrow, bringing the job’s purpose into question.

While the film was made on a low budget even by Argentine standards, the final impact is one of a big movie nearly bursting at the seams. This film also issues a riposte to recent Argentine minimalism, and specifically Carlos Sorin’s three-tale film set in Patagonia, Historias mínimas (2002). (Robert Koehler)
