If you loved Zama, try La Ciénaga
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 both carry the dread, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Zama, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What La Ciénaga is
The sticky decay of a northern Argentine summer meets Scorsese’s Family Romance as two clans implode under leaky ceilings and unspoken rage. Domestic sludge becomes sociological x-ray long before anyone explodes. The help and the kids shoulder the whole chaotic comedy.
