"IMMERSION" (2021): THE PARANOIA OF THE OTHER

Several forests surround a lake in southern Chile. You hear the flow of the water, birds singing, the sounds of life. A sailboat crosses the spacious waters, which seem to have no end in sight. Inside, a wealthy family, a father and his two daughters, on their way to their family cabin. The father reminisces nostalgically about his family's vacation at the cabin, while his daughter, Teresa, points out that things were not as beautiful as he remembered them. But that matters little or nothing to him, for him this was his father's cabin, a place where he shared with the fishermen of the area, at least until "the Mapuches chased them away". In the distance, if you pay attention, you can hear a pig being killed.

Prensa Austral: Immersion

It is the prejudiced Chile, frightened by the risk of danger, be it crime, class struggle or simply the 'bad cave' of being there at the right time, facing that poorer and different Chile that, in turn, is in the middle of that other Chile, perhaps smaller and represented in Ricardo's daughters, especially Teresita, who believes, more out of youth than because she is right, that no one should be marginalized for being different and that this country, as Los Jaivas say, we all build it together in good times and bad.

Immersion in Amazon Primer Video top 3.

Ricardo, a middle-class father, takes his two daughters to the family home by the lake in southern Chile. One day, on a yacht, they see three young local fishermen calling for help from another sinking boat. Ricardo refuses to help, arguing that they look suspicious and exasperating his eldest daughter. Their prejudices will be the beginning of a tense journey that will not end well.

Lorenzo Vigas: 5 Films That Inspired My Career

Lorenzo Vigas no se propuso ser cineasta. Nacido en Venezuela en 1967, Vigas cursaba un máster en Biología Molecular cuando decidió trasladarse a Nueva York y asistir a los talleres de cine de la Universidad de Nueva York.

The Venezuela-born and New York-trained director Lorenzo Vigas was responsible for the 2015 Venice Golden Lion winner, From Afar/Desde allà, a highly original debut that depicted the unfolding of a complicated, dangerous relationship between a middle-class Chilean man living in Caracas (played by the great Alfredo Castro) and a combative young male prostitute he takes in (Luis Silva). Vigas' second feature, mysteriously titled La caja ("The Box"), moves far from any city, to the northern wastelands of Mexico. It follows the bond that develops between a big, fat, brash middleman for factory sweatshops, and a quiet orphaned teen in search of a father. With these different elements, there are germane themes, the relation of man and boy and similar dynamics and ambiguities, with a similar infusion of excitement and mystery.

Cine aparte • The Box

The most recent film by Venezuelan Lorenzo Vigas takes the form of a powerful but restrained thriller, a puzzle that suggests that in the Mexican reality it is preferable to hold in your hands the remains of a dead father than to follow in the footsteps of a father who is alive, but who is the executioner of others.

LO MIO ES: The Box of Lorenzo Vigas

REVIEWSLa Caja by Lorenzo VigasPublished 5 months ago on November 9, 2022By Ale VegaFilm La Caja Venezuela Lorenzo Vigas' career has been singular, to say the least. Venezuelan by birth, but living and appreciating Mexico for the last twenty years, the filmmaker has imprinted his fresh look and his external vision in three films that say a lot about our country and allow us to analyze it not only as an individual entity, but also as one of the primordial parts of a Latin American whole, where idiosyncrasies and behaviors tend to be similar, for better and for worse.

Film director Nicolás Postiglione tells us about his new film "Inmersion".

It may have taken Venezuelan director Lorenzo Vigas six-plus years to deliver the follow-up to his 2015 Venice Film Festival Golden Lion Award-winning From Afar, but his newest film, The Box is, as the saying goes, worth the wait. Like From Afar and a prior short, The Box is focused on the theme of the father figure—even if its central father-son relationship is enigmatic and mysterious, gravely conflicted, and full of surprises.

Film Foward Review: The Box

In Lorenzo Vigas’s The Box (La Caja), Hatzín (Hatzín Navarrete), a 14-year-old boy, is sent by his grandmother to pick up the remains of a father he never knew. On his return home from the mass grave site in northern Mexico, he notices a man who closely resembles the photo on his father’s driver’s license, the only form of identification the boy has of his parent. Convinced that this stranger is his father, he doggedly insinuates himself into Mario’s (Hernán Mendoza) life.

Lorenzo Vigas on Digging Deep Inside “The Box”

The important thing to know here is that everyone’s got their own problem,” Mario (Hernán Mendoza) tells Hatzín (Hatzín Navarrete) on the drive to work in “The Box,” sounding like fatherly advice, though the two aren’t related or at least, Mario doesn’t seem to think so.

Based on a few elements, debutant Nicolás Postiglione manages to build up a strong genre piece, which beyond (enjoyable) tension and rush, reveals a key contemporary element (not only in Chilean society): the fear of the other and incapacity of communication.
