An American film crew, in search of their next viral scoop, accidentally ends up in an Argentine village. As the crew gets entangled in vanity and spectacle, they fail to notice what is really going on. Amalia Ulman blends lo-fi aesthetics, camp, and visual anarchy — with fisheye lenses and cameras strapped to dogs — into a sharp and witty critique of the media.
A sleekly styled Chloë Sevigny addresses the camera directly as she records promos for her Vice-like travel show. Magic Farm, the second feature by Argentine-Spanish artist and filmmaker Amalia Ulman (El Planeta, 2021), is a satirical portrait of an American documentary crew that accidentally winds up in a remote Argentine village. In pursuit of their next viral scoop, the crew—featuring Simon Rex, Alex Wolff, and Ulman herself—gets caught up in egotism and spectacle, blind to what’s really happening around them. Ulman fuses a colorful lo-fi aesthetic, playful camp, and dry irony with radical formal experiments, from fisheye lenses to GoPros strapped onto neighborhood dogs. The infectious soundtrack by Burke Battelle (aka Chicken) blends reggaeton, pop, and experimental beats. The result: a film bursting with visual anarchy, at once lighthearted and razor-sharp.
