A love for wild boys, Hollywood Babylon, alchemic trances, silent movies… Kenneth Anger”s phantasm collages have never ceased to titillate and inspire. The master sorcerer slumbers in his coffin: he passed away this year at 96 years of age. To not pay him a tribute with his masterpiece would have been inconceivable, indecent.

Preview
Paloma, a militant teacher fighting the local mining industry, disappears without a trace. Five years later her son Emiliano is well set on discovering the culprit.

Romain Le Vern

Marvelously directed, Perdidos en la noche resembles a dream mix between Elia Kazan’s Wild River and Pasolini’s Theorem. Less provocative than the previous Amat Escalante, here he works on something murkier and more disturbing too, creating the perfect focal distance on each of the characters of this dark human comedy. We really like his other films, but this one is his best.
