In 2009, the bodies of dozens of migrants, who had been trying to reach Europe via the Canary Islands, were washed up by ocean currents onto a beach in Mauritania. Among these bodies was that of a young white woman. Intrigued by this incident, eight years later, the filmmaker returns to Senegal, where he had been involved as a producer in shooting a famous film. He says: “Coming back to Africa plunged me into different emotions: the adoption of my African children whom I’d intended to raise there, friends who collaborated closely on the film Hyènes and who died too young and whom I’ve never really mourned…” The powerful images of the film, a film adaptation of The Visit by Friedrich Dürrenmatt, are combined with those of the present, where Pierre-Alain Meier, with the help of a few travelling companions, meets the witnesses and those responsible for this terrible incident, as well as with the intimate pictures from his family archives, dedicated to his three Ethiopian children.

(1968)로 세계 다큐멘터리사에 한획을 그었던 페르난도 솔라나스의 최근작. 영화는 경제공황으로 최악의 상황에 몰린 아르헨티나의 현실을 되짚는다. 2001년 10월에 있었던 아르헨티나 시민들의 시위장면을 보여주면서 영화를 시작한 페르난도 솔라나스는 질문한다. “도대체 아르헨티나에 무슨 일이 있었던 걸까?” 은 요즘 유행하고 있는 마이클 무어식의 다큐멘터리와는 거리가 있다. 이 영화가 선택한 방식은 질문에 철저히 구조적으로 대답해보는 것이다. 각각 “끝없는 빚더미, 경제 모델, 민영화” 등 토픽에 따라 10개의 챕터로 나눠져 있으며, 그 맥락을 따라 아르헨티나의 경제가 무너져온 이유들을 영화는 꼼꼼히 따져본다. 1970년대부터 2000년대를 오가며 아르헨티나를 망친 요인들을 하나씩 파헤쳐본다. 그 중심에는 장기집권의 시대를 연 대통령 카를로스 메넴이 있으며, 부정부패의 무리들이 있다. 영화는 그저 이들의 행태를 비판만 하기보다는 끊임없이 현재의 관계 안에서 인과성을 찾아내려 노력한다. 페르난도 솔라나스는 휘황찬란하게 치장된 공관 내부와 암울했던 지난 역사 자료들을 병치시키며 웅장한 대조의 설득력을 발휘한다. 시종일관 의도와 기법이 조화를 이루고 있는 은 아르헨티나에 관한 사회학적 보고서인 동시에 근래 보기 드문 전통적 다큐멘터리 양식의 교본이다.
