Liverpool
(Lisandro Alonso, Argentina, 2008, 35mm, 84 min)
One of the New Argentine Cinemas most distinguished directors, Lisandro Alonso's singular voice shines yet again in Liverpool. A graceful ode to solitude and the existential need for meaning, the story follows a sailor named Farrel on a lonely journey in the southernmost region of Argentina. After traveling the world, Farrel asks the captain if he can leave the ship to see if his mother still lives in their old village. Alonso's wide shots of formidable mountain ranges connects Farrel's gloomy trek through the snow with the dark past that haunts him, creating an engrossing aesthetic that sets the director apart as a master of style and technique.
