Macedonio Fernández

About This Movie

Macedonio Fernández is a documentary that meanders through the labyrinth of Argentine literature and philosophy. It’s not the typical structured doc; instead, it feels like a deep dive into the mind of a unique writer whose works often defy conventional narrative. The pacing can be a bit slow, but that’s part of its charm, inviting you to reflect on Fernández's ideas rather than just consume them. The atmosphere is contemplative, with a blend of archival footage and modern interpretations. It gives you a sense of place and time, immersing you in Fernández's world. While the director remains unknown, it feels like a labor of love, guided by a respect for the subject matter. The performances, if you can call them that, are more about the words and the ideas than showcasing traditional acting.
