A woman vanishes. Two men take to the road in search of her: they both love her. Why did she leave? Each one of them has his own suspicions, and hides them from the other one who -- mysteriously -- never truly becomes his rival. Neither is right -- but is anyone? This sudden run away becomes the hidden core of a number of fictions that the film delicately weaves together: the secret of the heart of another woman, lost as well, many years ago; the secret of the life of a village in the countryside, governed by a supernatural incident that nobody seems to perceive; the secret of the plains, which never ceases to spread and devour everything, like the shadows that invade the world after the twilight hour.

5/5

With hints of a Latin American Twin Peaks or X-Files, Trenque Lauquen plucks the bizarre out of the everyday, to laid-back but altogether magical effect.

5/5

Part Two is inevitably more heavy on exposition than its predecessor, which can feel a bit blundering, although the lengthy explanation of Laura's disappearance—told via a voice recording from Laura—is still hugely engrossing.

‘…an absorbing exploration of the connection between myth and reality in a supple world where there’s no scientific way of knowing which is which…describes a subversive world that’s carefully constructed and designed to evade any attempt to define it…’

Trenque Lauquen is unclassifiable (if akin to a Márquez novel) and endlessly compelling. It's wonderful.
