“As LA CIÉNAGA—Lucrecia Martel’s remarkable debut film—perspires from the screen, it creates a vision of social malaise that feels paradoxically familiar and new. Anyone who has wilted during the dog days of summer will recognize its mood and identify with the characters’ pervasive sense of exasperation. But LA CIÉNAGA is the first film I’ve seen that makes this mood its subject.” — Stephen Holden*
