Review of Las acacias (2011) by Jonathan B — 21 Dec 2011
A very slow placed road movie from Argentina, with no dogs present on this journey. Not much really happens and there is hardly any dialogue in the first 30 minutes, that being said the dialogue is pretty spartan throughout the whole film).
Despite this, Las Acacias is quite compelling and the central performances hold your attention and engage you. A visual poem, director Pablo Giorgelli favours long lingering takes than fast intercutting, which helps you soak up the frame.
