ZGAIB, Iván. Who is going to film History? Artifice and heterochrony in Benjamin Naishtat's El movimiento. Dixit [online]. 2022, vol.36, n.1, pp.17-28.  Epub 01-Jun-2022. ISSN 1688-3497.  https://doi.org/10.22235/d.v36i1.2790.

El movimiento (2015) by Benjamín Naishtat is part of a constellation of recent Argentine and Latin American films that deal with the historical past, but far from being based on a plausible representation of the period, it puts the illusionist nature of the classical narrative in crisis. With the aim of thinking about the communicating vessels that El movimiento establishes with the history and present of Argentina, this article not only contemplates the discursive constructions, but especially the material surface of its images and sounds. Naishtat's film, through a series of formal operations that exacerbate artifice, composes an abstract space and a broken temporality made of anachronisms. It is a procedure of estrangement: it attempts to trace another path, another territory, and other rhythms of time. It confronts a narrative’s form: the celebrations of the Bicentennial and the objectivist visions of certain period cinema to crystallize Argentine history

Palavras-chave : Argentine cinema; Latin American cinema; artifice; heterochrony; spaciality.
