This book accompanies the retrospective “Lucrecia Martel, le cinéma hors de lui” presented at the Centre Pompidou from November 14, 2024 to December 1, 2024.

The sensitive politics of Argentine filmmaker Lucrecia Martel unfold in this book through her free speech. From La Ciénaga (2001) to Zama (2017) and beyond, it's all about shaking up perception, moving away from language, disobeying history. Here we learn that images separate us, but sound connects us; that science fiction gives the most accurate sense of reality; that taking cinema out of the colony could well alter the course of the world.
