Lucrecia Martel

Her 2001 debut feature film ''La Ciénaga'' (''The Swamp''), about an indulgent bourgeois extended family spending the summertime in a decrepit vacation home in provincial Salta, Argentina, was internationally highly acclaimed upon release and introduced a new and vital voice to Argentine cinema. David Oubiña called it "one of the highest achievements" of the New Argentine Cinema, a wave of contemporary filmmaking that began in the mid-1990s in reaction to decades of political and economic crises in the country. The film, Oubiña wrote, is "a rare expression of an extremely troubled moment in the nation's recent history. It is a masterpiece of singular maturity".
Martel's succeeding three feature films received further international acclaim: the adolescent drama ''The Holy Girl'' (''La niña santa'') (2004), the psychological thriller ''The Headless Woman'' (''La mujer sin cabeza'') (2008), and the period drama ''Zama'' (2017). Provided by Wikipedia
