El Mar La Mar
-
Blu-ray
A$30.99
A moving portrait of life in the US-Mexico border region, El Mar La Mar is a sensorily immersive, captivating and terrifying journey through the Sonoran Desert. The film weaves harrowing personal accounts of border crossings with the cruel rhetoric of the politicised American media, accompanied by striking footage of desert life and the remnants left behind by animals and people.
Intense and mythic and utilising a rich polyphonic soundtrack to create a vivid exploration of the desert habitat, El Mar La Mar is an experience like nothing you&'ve seen, heard or felt before.
"Monumentally important protest art. It strives to unearth what the desert so conveniently wipes away: untold stories of sacrifice and struggle" Little White Lies
"An unsettlingly topical portrait of the American southwest... plays more like a horror film than an exercise in journalistic nonfiction" Sight and Sound
"One of the top 10 films of 2017... cinema and landscape come together as sites of inscription marked by an encounter between the human and nonhuman" ArtForum
