Trenque Lauquen (LE)

Trenque Lauquen

Two men arrive in the Argentine suburb of Trenque Lauquen in search of a woman: they are both in love with her. Why did she vanish? This question begins an investigation that unveils several narratives delicately woven together: the secret of the heart of another woman; the secret of the life of a village in the countryside, governed by a possible supernatural incident that nobody seems to perceive; and the secret of the plains, which never ceases to spread and devour everything. Ranked #1 in Cahiers du Cinéma’s Top 10 films of 2023, Trenque Lauquen is an astonishing epic six years in the making, with a mystery and playful approach to genre that has been compared to Twin Peaks and The Endless. Radiance is proud to present one of the most critically revered works of the decade, from Argentine auteur Laura Citarella and the El Pampero Cine collective.

Press:

★★★★★ With hints of a Latin American Twin Peaks or X-Files, Trenque Lauquen plucks the bizarre out of the everyday, to laid-back but altogether magical effect. - Jonathan Romney, Financial Times

★★★★★ “One of 2023’s most astonishing films” - David Jenkins, Little White Lies

★★★★★ “There are similarities with the mumblecore science fiction of Shane Carruth’s Upstream Colour and The Endless, but Trenque Lauquen daringly stakes out its own spooky terrain.” - Tara Brady, Irish Times
