Los Próximos pasados (2006)

法国图卢兹拉美电影节最佳纪录片；布宜诺斯艾利斯独立电影节费比西奖。Argentina, 1933. The Mexican painter, David Alfaro Siqueiros, paints the mural "Plastic Exercise" in the basement of the mansion of Natalio Botana, an Argentinean tycoon. 70 years after, we plunge in the itinerary of this piece that, dismantled, is locked in five containers at the mercy of the weather. Los Proximos Pasados is a journey along the story of the making and destruction of the mural, through the reconstruction of this singular masterpiece. A fable about what's forever gone. 走的是悬疑片的路子，前期很大篇幅只闻其传说/赞美，不见其形，而最后5分钟多角度观察脱壳而出的完整画作时意识到铺垫做得炉火纯青，同时又去戏剧化背后有一万种流言已成空的陈旧情事，本身20世纪拉丁美洲的动荡可高度抽象成画作的颠沛历程
