Cannes Video Day 3: Diego Lerman’s La mirada invisible (The Invisible Eye)

Date:

Winner of the Sundance/NHK Int. Filmmakers Award and part of Cannes’ Atelier de la Cinefondation, Diego Lerman’s La mirada invisible works from an extremely sharp screenplay, and much like how the Chilean film Tony Manero symbolically made one point by referencing another, this demonstrates that repression doesn’t achieve the best of results – whether it’s military coup or a young women trying to break free. Photography is crisp and Julieta Zylberberg eventually manages to lasso the viewer onto her side – which is not an easy task with her type of character.
