Zama, an officer of the Spanish Crown born in South America, waits for a letter from the King granting him a transfer from the town in which he is stagnating, to a better place. The years go by and the letter from the King never arrives. When Zama notices everything is lost, he joins a party of soldiers that go after a dangerous bandit. A formally audacious historical drama on themes of colonialism and class dynamics by acclaimed Argentine writer-director Lucrecia Martel. Rotten Tomatoes rating of 96%.

"Zama is an experience equal parts intoxicating and disorienting." — The Digital Fix

NR, 115 min., 2017. Closed captions (CC) in English.
