"Pure arthouse bliss. It’s stunning." - David Fear, Rolling Stone
"There is a sort of sensory perception, a feeling that through drifting downstream along the river course of this film and gazing at the foliage on either bank, some progress of the soul is being achieved. It is an enriching experience." - Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
In his rich and sublime triptych that traverses time, space, and genre, Lisandro Alonso (LA LIBERTAD) presents an elliptical meditation on the experiences of indigenous communities across the Americas. Beginning in a dusty town of the Old West, transitioning to contemporary South Dakota’s Pine Ridge Reservation, and concluding in the jungles of 1970s Brazil, EUREKA asks metaphysical questions about colonial influence on native peoples, and the ever-present tensions between indigeneity and the Western world. An expansive and surreal refraction of history and place, EUREKA is unlike any other film you’ll see this year. Film Center exclusive.
