Lucrecia Martel has been a formative figure in the modern era of Argentinan cinema and her first feature film in a decade,
Zama, handily continued her steady run of critically acclaimed motion pictures. For this new project of hers, Martel has decided to create a cinematic deconstruction of colonizer figures, the kind of people who are declared great explorers in the modern era for simply stumbling on an already inhabited terrain and slaughtering its inhabitants. Like stories that involve Nazi's getting beat up or stories revolving around pug puppies being happy & carefree, stories, like the one seen in
Zama, about deconstructing such figures as flawed human beings is always welcome to see in cinema.
