Fernando Eimbcke's Lake Tahoe screens in New York

Friday July 10, 2009
Lake Tahoe

Fernando Eimbcke's follow-up to Duck Season is a wry comedy laid out in steady shots that seem to be more interested in location (nowhere near Lake Tahoe) than in the characters that traverse them on foot, car, or bicycle. Slowly, something like a story develops as the film's hero Juan (Diego Catano) tries to repair a car he wrecked off screen. Jurgen first caught Lake Tahoe at the Berlin Film Festival in 2008. Here's the trailer.

Eimbcke will do a Q&A following the film's July 10 Anthology Film Archives premiere in New York at the 7pm screening and will also introduce the 9pm screening on Friday and Saturday evenings. He will speak with Gavin Smith, editor of Film Comment, about his work the following day at the New Museum in New York as part of the ongoing TropiChat series.
