Traversing time, space and genre, Argentinian filmmaker Lisandro Alonso (Jauja) presents an elliptical meditation on the experiences of indigenous communities across the Americas. Opening in a dusty town of the Old West, reality soon transitions to contemporary South Dakota's Pine Ridge Reservation before finally landing in the jungles of 1970s Brazil. As the triptych unfolds, each temporal and spatial shift provokes metaphysical questions about colonial influence on native peoples and the ever-present tensions between indigeneity and the Western world.

Critics Consensus

Undeniably impressive in its ambition, Eureka makes some thought-provoking statements about colonialism, although they'll likely be lost on less patient viewers.

Eureka is a bold attempt to unmoor us, switch around the signposts and un-map terra cognita, embracing both mystery and simplicity as the keys to possibility.

It’s a movie best received in a relaxed frame of mind. Because much of it is a slow burn, if there’s indeed a burn at all.

Here, extra-long shots of wild splendor and oblique talk of dreams makes the film go from patient to listless. At this stage, it’s a challenging sit, but perhaps that’s the point considering where we started.

Alonso’s first film in nine years offers many of the same sensory pleasures as his finest pictures ‒ but with plenty of narrative twists and turns that often call to mind some films of New Argentine Cinema.

As a work of art, [EUREKA] is a film that demands patience, but for those willing to engage, it will leave a lasting impression.

The sheer physical beauty of this last section compensates for its opacity, as the middle part’s more pointed drama does for its sometime dullness, and the opener’s genre homage is its own reward.
