La León is a film by Santigo Otheguy out of Argentina. It's shot in a moderately lit black and white format that gives most of the film an illusory feeling like a dream. The generous use of wait time between snippets of dialogue and actions, as well as, the importance he give to the gesture, the furtive glance, enhance the haunting sense of longing within which the main character, Alvaró, exists.
This is a beautiful film. Made all the more powerful by it's understated direction and restrained acting.
