The Currents
A celebrated fashion designer finds it impossible to readjust to her former life after surviving a shocking plunge into an icy lake in Argentinean filmmaker Milagros Mumenthaler’s existential puzzle, a work of compelling psychological interiority.
While on a work trip in Switzerland, where she’s being fêted for her storied fashion career, designer Lina (Isabel Aimé González Sola) plunges herself, without warning, into an icy winter lake. After surviving the shocking ordeal, Lina returns to her hometown of Buenos Aires, yet a transformation has taken place within her, and she finds it impossible to readjust to her former life as a wife, mother, and artist, distancing herself from her husband (Esteban Bigliardi) and career. Acclaimed Argentinean filmmaker Milagros Mumenthaler (Back to Stay) has constructed a compelling existential puzzle, a work of psychological interiority that, with its oblique narrative and complexly layered soundscape evoking a woman’s enigmatic dissociation, recalls the work of Lucrecia Martel and Todd Haynes, yet with its own singular emotional perspective and aesthetic sophistication. An NYFF63 Main Slate selection. A Kino Lorber release.
Critic's Pick! A superb, sensuously realized film.”
