Zama (2017)
Directed by Lucrecia Martel
In a remote South American colony in the late 18th century, officer Zama of the Spanish crown waits in vain for a transfer to a more prestigious location. He suffers small humiliations and petty politicking as he increasingly succumbs to lust and paranoia.

What critics compared Zama to
Céline Sciamma’s Portrait of a Lady on Fire will probably draw comparison to two recent films, Lucrecia Martel’s Zama and Luca Guadagnino’s Call Me by Your Name , for completely different reasons.
Crítica de “Años luz”, ensayo documental de Manuel Abramovich sobre Lucrecia Martel y ”Zama”…
There will surely be many commentaries on Zama as a film about the politics of colonialism, past and present: as such, it can be networked with a lively range of pertinent comparisons, from Werner Herzog’s Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972) to, more recently, James Gray’s The Lost City of Z (2016) and—closer to Martel in style and tone—Lisandro Alonso’s Jauja (2014).
