SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION

If you loved A King and His Movie, try these.

The Last Movie poster 01

Movie / 1971 / Drama / Western

The Last Movie

Why this pick

Like Sorín’s film, this is a ragged, self-reflexive odyssey about filmmaking collapsing into a stranger reality, with a roaming crew, hostile logistics, and an exhilaratingly unruly sense of place.

Living Is Easy with Eyes Closed poster 02

Movie / 2013 / Comedy / Drama

Living Is Easy with Eyes Closed

Why this pick

A tender, dryly comic road movie in which a stubborn dreamer gathers an accidental little troupe. It shares the warmth, melancholy, and affection for impractical quests that sustain Sorín’s director.

Lost in La Mancha poster 03

Movie / 2002 / Documentary

Lost in La Mancha

Why this pick

This documentary watches Terry Gilliam’s quixotic production unravel under weather, money, and misfortune. Its behind-the-scenes disasters carry the same tragicomic devotion to making a movie against all sense.

The Wind Will Carry Us poster 04

Movie / 1999 / Drama

The Wind Will Carry Us

Why this pick

Its patient rural landscapes and a city man’s uncertain mission create a similarly deadpan collision between cinematic intention and an elusive, independent world beyond the crew’s control.

The Big Picture poster 05

Movie / 1989 / Comedy / Drama

The Big Picture

Why this pick

Christopher Guest turns an earnest young filmmaker’s pursuit of artistic control into escalating absurdity. It is more satirical than Sorín, but closely attuned to the compromise, vanity, and chaos around making films.

01 / THE STORY

A little about the film.

Buenos Aires movie director, very fond of the legend of the King of Patagonia and Araucania, decides to make a movie about it. Despite of financial troubles, technical problems, misfortune and desertions, he undertakes the journey to Patagonia for the film with a second-rate actor company. Neglected by the producer and shortly after by the company, he will make the movie alone, in a surreal landscape like mad.
