Description
The camera lingers on the same scene. The whispers of the qom and their steady march in line are captured on film. The machinery hums along, the heat and mud a constant presence. The costumes and wigs add to the spectacle. The casting process is underway, with towns transformed into backdrops for the story. Meanwhile, Lucrecia Martel films, while Selva Almada observes, questions, and writes down her thoughts. These notes - subtle, lyrical - are more than just a casual diary of filming: they're a tool that illuminates, fragments, and deepens our understanding of the literary myth Zama. As we turn the pages, the film and book blend together, revealing new insights into this complex story. Selva Almada's observations offer a unique perspective on the making of a film, one that is both personal and insightful.
