The event is over
A solitary woman lives on the fringes of society in a hut that she built with her bare hands in the open countryside, just a few kilometres from Buenos Aires. Surrounded by her dogs, she immerses herself nature and does the bare minimum to survive day by day. She has no money, she rarely speaks. She is a mystery.
Laura Citarella and Verónica Llinás, La Mujer de los perros, Argentina, 2015, 98 min, original version with French subtitles

“A film of performance – that of Véronica Llinás – La Mujer de los perros reveals a form of purity in the nevertheless very material and concrete life (or survival) of its character. This is achieved by her constant silence, but above all the way in which Laura Citarella harmonises the methodical recording of her heroine's actions with a fascination with the events around her, which brush past her life without ever coming into contact. She thus confirms that she belongs to the category of rare filmmakers who film as naturally as they breathe.” Cahiers du cinéma
