In 2009, a man and two accomplices try to evict members of the Indigenous community of Chuschagasta in northern Argentina. Claiming ownership of the land and armed with guns, they kill the community's leader, Javier Chocobar. The murder is caught on video. It takes nine years of protests before court proceedings are finally opened in 2018. During all this time, the killers remain free. The film combines the voices and photographs of the community with courtroom footage to explore the long history of colonialism and land dispossession that led to this crime.

Catherine Bray Little White Lies Landmarks is a landmark in and of itself Sep 2, 2025 Full Review Guy Lodge Variety Relative to Martel’s more formally radical fiction films, this is a straightforwardly constructed work, but a disciplined, clear-eyed one. Sep 1, 2025 Full Review Jonathan Romney Screen International Landmarks may not strictly be the film that admirers of Martel’s formal radicalism have been waiting for: notwithstanding some eccentricities, it is a relatively conventional work. But it’s very much from the heart, and from the political conscience/ Sep 1, 2025 Full Review Kayleigh Donaldson Pajiba It’s the personal made political and vice versa, and it’s depicted with the sharpness and careful anger that has long defined Martel’s impeccable filmography. Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest The fragility of an entire culture’s existence comes into focus as does an unimpeachable portrait of resilience. Sep 5, 2025 Full Review Santiago Echeverría EscribiendoCine ...Landmarks doesn't simply narrate a homicide, but rather exposes how the legal system, inherited from colonialism, legitimizes property titles that formalize dispossession.
