OPENS AT METROGRAPH september 20

Metrograph is pleased to announce the run OF EUREKA,
starting SEPTEMBER 20

Reuniting with Viggo Mortensen, star of his 2014 Jauja, Lisandro Alonso’s latest cinematic reverie is a stunning stylistic shapeshifter, its triptych of beguiling, fable-like tales united by their engagement with Indigenous culture in the Americas. Gruff gunslinger Mortensen’s frontier town encounter with Chiara Mastroianni is followed by the spare narrative of a policewoman (Alaina Clifford) making her rounds in a Lakota Sioux reservation in present-day South Dakota, from where another bold narrative leap lands us amongst a tribal community in the Amazon basin c. 1970. Spanning epochs and continents, Lisandro Alonso’s elusive and at times almost hallucinatory film is an extraordinarily rich open-ended work of, per the director, “uncertain conclusions,” brimming with ambiguous allusions and unexpected associations.
