Traversing time, space and genre, Argentinian filmmaker Lisandro Alonso (Jauja) presents an elliptical meditation on the experiences of indigenous communities across the Americas. Opening in a dusty town of the Old West, reality soon transitions to contemporary South Dakota's Pine Ridge Reservation before finally landing in the jungles of 1970s Brazil. As the triptych unfolds, each temporal and spatial shift provokes metaphysical questions about colonial influence on native peoples and the ever-present tensions between indigeneity and the Western world.
"A sublime decolonial triptych with the appearance of a magical fable." -CINEMANIA
"A film like few others in our cinema, one that assimilates a lineage and transcends it." -La Nación (Argentina)
"Like much of Alonso’s defiantly unconventional and languorous work, Eureka is concerned with identity, colonialism, and the Global South, but this poetic, ruminative triptych is more akin to a vision quest than a righteous political tract." -THE TAKE UPPT2H27M
