Territorio

Alexandra Cuesta cites eternal wanderer Henri Michaux as one of the inspirations for her first feature. Itā€™s curious, then, that the opening sequence of Territorio (the first film Cuesta shot in her native Ecuador) shows us a boat heading for the shore. It is very likely that, to Cuesta, the image of water hides the same connotation than it does to the author of ā€œThe Sea of Breastsā€: returning home, being sheltered in the motherā€™s womb. Without detouring from the formal approaches of her previous work, Cuesta traces a journey that crosses the country from north to south, drawing a human cartography in which the aim is to achieve an impossible balance between the foreign travelerā€™s gaze and the earnest familiarity of those who return home temporarily.
