La Flor (Part 3)
Shot over nine years, Mariano Llinás’ marathon opus is a kaleidoscope of six storylines, anchored by the spectacular performances of four lead actresses who undergo metamorphosis as the film giddily shifts from B-movie to music-industry spoof to spy thriller. But it’s when these performers revolt against their puppetmaster that Llinás’ mischievous meta-film transforms into something truly epic: a testament to cinema’s persuasive powers that also calls on viewers to reevaluate how they see filmmaking.
