La muerte de Sebastián Arache y su pobre entierro (1974)
A legend of curses and death in an austere and dry desert where rain will not fall. The story focuses on the experiences and misery of an indigenous man who meets his death in the middle of the film. The dead time and the morosity of the story operate as the stylistic foundation of this indispensable national film that was shot in Patquía, La Rioja.
Director: Nicolás Sarquís
