Argentine filmmaker Lisandro Alonso presents EUREKA, a meditation on the experiences of indigenous communities across the Americas. This elliptical film takes viewers through the Old West, the contemporary Pine Ridge Reservation, and the jungles of 1970s Brazil.
As the narrative unfolds, each temporal and spatial shift provokes thought-provoking questions about the colonial influence on native peoples and the enduring tensions between indigeneity and the Western world. With three-time Academy Award nominee Viggo Mortensen leading the cast, EUREKA is a graceful refraction of history and place, marking Alonso's most expansive and ambitious film to date.
Born in Buenos Aires, Lisandro Alonso has established himself as a prominent figure in the world of cinema. His films, known for their poetic and contemplative style, have garnered critical acclaim and numerous awards. EUREKA is a testament to his talent and his ability to create immersive and thought-provoking cinematic experiences.
