Argentine director Lisandro Alonso reunites with his
Jauja leading man Viggo Mortensen for
Eureka, co-written with authors Martin Camaño and Fabian Casas. The film is a surreal
deconstruction of the western genre that switches between a Native
American reservation in the present day and a 1970s Brazilian
jungle.
Chiara Mastroianni, Sadie Lapointe and Alaina Clifford also
star.
Eureka is in UK cinemas from February 16th.
Check out the trailer below.
The official synopsis reads:
Alaina is tired of being a police officer in the Pine Ridge Reservation and decides to stop answering her radio. Her niece Sadie spends a long night waiting for her, to no avail. Hurt, she decides to begin her journey with the help of her grandfather: she will fly through time and space to South America, finally she will stop watching old black and white westerns that do not represent her in any way, and everything will feel different when she hears the dreams of other people, those who live in the forest. But there will be no definitive conclusions... Birds don’t talk to humans, yet if only we could understand them, they would surely have a few truths to tell us.
