CGiii Comment

A film crew working for an edgy media company travels to Argentina to profile a local musician, but their ineptitude leads them into the wrong country. As the crew collaborates with locals to fabricate a trend, unexpected connections blossom while a pervasive health crisis looms unacknowledged in the background.

Acclaimed multidisciplinary artist and director Amalia Ulman returns to the festival with her highly anticipated follow-up to El Planeta (2021 Sundance Film Festival), blessing us with her signature idiosyncratic humor and surreal characters in a fresh setting that honors her Argentine roots.

Equipped with a fantastic cast, including Chloë Sevigny, Simon Rex, Alex Wolff, and Joe Apollonio, Ulman drops us into a satire that is at once an excavation of media exploitation and a charming look at the unexpectedly profound exchanges that can emerge when cultures blend. Not one to shy away from subverting stereotypes or uncovering uncomfortable truths, Ulman reaffirms the singularity of her voice, ensuring her visual playfulness and absurdity fuse seamlessly with the warmth she has for the vibrant world of Magic Farm.—Ana Souza
