New Showbiz Analysis

Lisandro Alonso’s work primarily serves as a formalist exploration of cinema. It avoids traditional narrative structures, opting instead for atmospheric, slow-paced techniques that emphasize the relationship between humans and their surroundings. By focusing on the landscape and atmosphere, the film deviates from conventional storytelling without centering specific underrepresented identities. Its impact lies in challenging mainstream storytelling norms rather than engaging with overt identity-driven narratives.

Official Synopsis

Lisandro Alonso returns to La Pampa, to the same locations of Freedom, to shoot his Carta para Serra (or Sin título), with a camera that seems to float among the vegetation. He has the company of Misael Saavedra, and yet instead of looking back (or making a tribute to his actors, because that was the subject in Fantasma) this movie seeks to be a prologue for his next one.
