The Holy Girl / La Niña Santa / Argentina / Italy / Netherlands / Spain / 2004

As I expected, Lucrecia Martel has successfully managed to avoid the sophomore slump. Her technique here is similar to that in La Ciénaga (artfully composed frames, strange sounds whirring in the distance, nature and the outdoors shown in an ominous light, etc.), but the themes explored are subtler and arguably richer.
