“Starting with the impossible operatic adaptation of Andersen’s The Little Match Girl, Alejo Moguillansky incorporates several layers of narrative into his tale with successive connections between them, passing without warning from humour to melancholy, from cacophony to grace. Echoing EO by Skolimowski, the discovery of Au hasard Balthazar by an adolescent is one of the many epiphanies of this film, whose freedom is miraculous.” Cahiers du cinéma.
Presented by Fernando Ganzo and followed at 6pm by a virtual meeting with Laura Citarella, Mariano Llinás and Alejo Moguillansky from El Pampero Cine, hosted by Claire Allouche and Fernando Ganzo from Cahiers du cinéma
