Lucrecia Martel

Steve turned me on to Argentinian director Lucrecia Martel a few years ago. She's made three films: La Cienega (2001), The Holy Girl (2004) and (my favorite) The Headless Woman (2008). I was just wondering what wazzup with her and found some good info. Her next film has been announced: an adaptation of the historical novel "Zama" by Antonio di Benedetto (Hollywood Reporter says it's set to start shooting in July 2013). And then this promo/short film she did in 2011 for the fashion label Miu Miu. It's distinctly stranger and more stylized than her films though there's something of the psychological brink, conceptual sound engineering and quietly stunning beauty (like around the 4:40 mark where the models bodies become shifting planes) that winds through her work (especially Headless Woman). Let's do this, Lucrecia!
