Winner of the Berlin Film Festival’s Alfred Bauer Prize, awarded to films that bring new perspectives to the art of cinema, The Swamp is a turning point in the New Argentine Cinema that emerged in the late 1990s. In her feature debut, Lucrecia Martel, regarded as one of the most important living filmmakers, focuses on the relationships within a wealthy family spending the summer in provincial Argentina. Through themes of class difference, political uncertainty, race, sexuality and nature, she paints a portrait of social collapse. With its innovative storytelling, consummate craftsmanship, subtly woven situations and hypnotic atmosphere, The Swamp has secured its place in film history as one of contemporary cinema’s most original and significant works.
