The Swamp

Argentinian writer and director Lucrecia Martel made her feature debut with this drama about two families on vacation. The story about two women and their families as they experience daily routines and their interaction with each other and their servants. Martel's keen eye shows the decay of the ruling class through their relationships, specially those towards their servants. Each character has a story to tell as the camera observes their behavior and body language. Martel established herself as one of the prominent artists in the modern Argentinian cinema. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
