Why watch the movie Mariner of the Mountains?
"Awarded at Cannes and nominated for an Ariel for the movie 'The Invisible Life of Eurídice Gusmão', Brazilian and Algerian-ascended filmmaker Karim Aïnouz presents a personal film that works as a travel diary. With narration and a mix of subjective images (some of them fixed), it is an exploration of feelings of loss, as well as identity in displacement, with a melancholic tone reminiscent of Chris Marker's classic 'The Pier' ('La Jetée')."
