Man Facing Southeast
“Somewhere Between The Insane And The Unreal Lies The Mystery Of The Man Facing Southeast.”
In a psychiatric ward in Argentina, a new patient turns up with no record of how he got there. Rantes (Hugo Soto) says he comes from another planet to study human beings, and Dr. Julio Denis (Lorenzo Quinteros), already unhappy in his work, is told to treat him by the book. Eliseo Subiela films the ward and the two men in long, quiet takes, with very little music.
