 | Description: | The release of Lucrecia Martel's LA CIENAGA HERALDED the arrival of an astonishingly vital and original voice in Argentine cinema.

This visceral take on class, nature, sexuality, and the ways political turmoil and social stagnation can manifest in human relationships is a drama of amazing tactility and one of the great contemporary film debuts.La Ciénaga, available on Blu-Ray from Criterion, is a critically acclaimed Argentine film directed by Lucrecia Martel.
