'Eureka' Trailer Previews Time-Spanning, Ambitious Film Starring Viggo Mortensen

A new trailer for the forthcoming film Eureka has been released, with the film set to begin its theatrical run on September 20th, 2024. The film comes from Argentinian director Lisandro Alonso, and promises to be Alonso’s most “expansive and ambitious film to date”. A synopsis from the official press release reads as follows:

”Traversing time, space and genre, Argentinian filmmaker Lisandro Alonso 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. Featuring three-time Academy Award nominee Viggo Mortensen, EUREKA is a graceful refraction of history and place, marking it Alonso’s “most expansive and ambitious film to date” (Screen Anarchy).”

The film stars Viggo Mortensen, Chiara Mastroianni, Alaina Clifford, Sadie LaPointe, and Viilbjørk Malling Agger. You can view the full trailer below, and check your local theater to see if the movie is playing near you.
