The protean Argentinean director Lisandro Alonso continues to shapeshift, delight, and challenge with his marvelous and immersive new film, which takes the viewer on an unexpected journey through three stories set in wildly different terrain, each of them reflecting lives haunted by the specter of colonialist violence. Cleverly transitioning between segments without hand-holding the viewer, the film offers an improbably unified aesthetic experience that leaves it up to us to make the connections among its transient worlds.
