Hoezo in KINO

This epic, missed by many, deserves a proper theatrical release. Trenque Lauquen is truly unique: a meandering, magnetic puzzle film in two parts, running over four hours in total and not a minute feels wasted. Two men travel through Argentina in search of a woman. Both are in love with her, yet neither is honest about why. The atmosphere recalls Twin Peaks, but sun-drenched and with the dust of the pampas on its shoes. Named the best film of 2023 by Cahiers du Cinéma, and we understand why: getting lost has never felt so rewarding. An experience not to be missed.

Storyline

A woman vanishes. Two men take to the road in search of her: they both love her. Why did she leave? Each one of them has his own suspicions, and hides them from the other one who—mysteriously—never truly becomes his rival. Neither is right—but is anyone? This sudden runaway becomes the hidden core of a number of fictions that the film delicately weaves together: the secret of the heart of another woman, lost as well, many years ago; the secret of the life of a village in the countryside, governed by a supernatural incident that nobody seems to perceive; the secret of the plains, which never ceases to spread and devour everything, like the shadows that invade the world after the twilight hour.
