“An endlessly playful and playfully endless riot. Wildly, staggeringly entertaining.” - Matthew Thrift, Little White Lies

“The film's very structure suggests a literary experiment... La Flor is an exercise in the pleasures of storytelling.” - Ben Sachs, Chicago Reader

Saturday, January 14 at 10am | The longest film in our Settle In series, and one of the longest films ever made, Mariano Llinás’s LA FLOR is a spirited labor of love a decade in the making, made up of six distinct chapters, each starring the same four actresses. Playfully difficult to describe (Llinás speaks directly to the audience with a welcome: “I’ll try to explain what this movie is about.”), LA FLOR is a towering construction built on a scaffold of film styles, with each chapter exploring different genres including monster movies, musicals, spy thrillers, and B movies, among others. Epic in scale and imagination, LA FLOR is a messy and mesmerizing ode to the power of cinema.
