Argentina, Brazil, Denmark, France, Germany, Mexico, Netherlands, United States | 2014 | Lisandro Alonso
Viggo Mortensen plays a 19th-century Danish army officer in the remote wilds of Patagonia in this handsome, hallucinatory new “Western” from Lisandro Alonso, the acclaimed Argentinean director of Liverpool and Los Muertos. When his 15-year-old daughter runs off with a soldier, the military man must venture further into the South American wilderness to find her. Jauja, which was rapturously received at Cannes last year, is both an existential odyssey and a meditation on colonialism, cultural imperialism, and “civilization” and “barbarism.” The title refers to a mythic, El Dorado-like “land of plenty.”
Cleveland premiere. Subtitles. Blu-ray. 108 min.
