(2017) dir Lucretia Martel w/Daniel Giménez Cacho [115 min; DCP]
“Lucrecia Martel’s cinematic marvel ZAMA tells the dreamlike story of Don Diego (a wonderful Daniel Giménez Cacho), a proud if beleaguered agent of Western colonialism. When you first meet him, Diego is waiting for a transfer from a desolate outpost. He has been waiting a long time. Over this pleasurably eccentric movie, Diego — with his noble head held high, his tragically ill-fitting wig and slow-growing despair — continues to wait, while simultaneously being assailed by slights, insults, rejections, humiliations, a comically inquisitive llama and catastrophic physical violence. Diego’s tribulations are almost worthy of a Christian martyr except that he is suffering for sins of his own making.
