Eureka

Alonso's most ambitious film to date, a triptych socially metaphysical journey through space and time to remember and reflect how first contact, then exploration and oppression towards indigenous people enforced by colonialism essentially ripped apart -- and continue to do so -- entire cultures and different ways of life in the Americas. Every section has more ups than downs, but I find the second one the best, even if a bit stretched. Alaina and Sadie deliver subtly astounding acting. Third feels somewhat undercooked -- perhaps not long enough to fully develop the vision intended by the filmmaker --, but it does convey a broadly strong mythical mise-en-scène. On a side note: now I need to go back to Jauja, guess I wasn't prepared enough when it came out.
