Confirming what we had reported back in April, Variety confirms that Lisandro Alonso‘s next project will indeed be him revisiting the film character we first visited back in 2001’s La libertad. La libertad doble is being mounted by Alonso’s 4L, Fortuna Films’ Ilse Hughan, Planta’s Fernando Bascuñán and Deptford Film’s Augusto Matte. Co-producers include The Match Factory and Les Films. Production is planned for early 2025 – so we are looking at a probable 2026 drop.
This follows Misael (Misael Saavedra) who, some 25 years later, continues to live alone, wielding his axe to fell trees deep in the forest, far from the presence of others. His quiet freedom is disrupted when he’s forced to care for his older sister, and the familiar rhythm of his days in the wilderness begins to unravel in a place where human reason holds no sway.
