If you loved The Headless Woman, try Zama
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Lucrecia Martel, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Headless Woman, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Zama is
A career stuck in bureaucratic purgatory meets gothic paranoia over colonial decay. A disgraced 18th-century Spanish officer waits endlessly for reassignment, trapped between mounting social slights and his own unraveling. The slow rot of empire becomes his mirror.
