Aleph
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Iva Radivojević
2021 / 91min / DCP
Belgrade-born Radivojević’s peripatetic sophomore feature makes stops in Argentina, Greenland, Kathmandu, South Africa, and six other far-flung ports of call while passing the narrative baton between different characters, changing visual styles just about as often as it changes location. Inspired by the writings of Jorge Luis Borges, specifically his short story “The Aleph,” Radivojević doesn’t adapt Borges but rather finds a cinematic analog to his image of the “splintered labyrinth” in a film of dizzyingly diverse scenes which, over time, reveal commonalities lying beneath their surfaces. A daring experiment, cerebral and sensual, seeking concrete images for elusive ideas.
