In Argentinian director Lucrecia Martel's debut film, La Cinéaga (The Swamp), two families are stuck together for the summer in a deteriorating country house. While the clouds gather for a storm that never comes, and the weather turns relentlessly hot and humid, the tension increases as resentment grows and desires are repressed. Martel filmed La Ciénaga with non-professional actors, and used her camera as a sort of Peeping Tom, peering through doors, closets, and windows at her "unsuspecting" subjects, highlighting the impoverishment inflicted on an all-too-proud Argentinian middle class during the economic crisis that swept the country in the early '00s.
