The Other / El otro Latinbeat & Film Comment Selects Please note: Unfortunately, director Ariel Rotter cannot be at the screenings. Guest speaker TBD for the onstage conversation following the 7pm screening on Wed Sep 17 and the Q&A following the encore screening on Thu Sep 18 at 5pm. “I don’t know how they do it, but Argentinean filmmakers continue to conjure surprise, invention, and substance out of thin air. The memorably named Ariel Rotter’s The Other, unheralded despite picking up the Grand Jury prize in Berlin last year, reaps a maximum impressionistic yield from the slimmest of ideas: a middle-aged man (Julio Chavez) travels to a backwater town on business, then on impulse stays on for a few nights, flirting with the possibility of assuming a new identity. Dialogue is kept to a minimum as the main character wanders about, warily drawn into the occasional brief encounter, and willfully uneventful and inconclusive as the film is, there’s a quiet, lyrical sense of time passing that’s quite lovely. While sufficient information can be inferred from the first scenes to account for the protagonist’s actions, the film is no overwrought exercise in existential angst, and there’s no big final epiphany to make it all add up.” — Gavin Smith, Film Comment The Other / El otro Ariel Rotter, Argentina/France/Germany, 2007; 83m Rotter’s visit is made possible by the Consulate General of Argentina in New York.
