“A formally radical, biting satire about odious, privileged Americans adrift in a remote Argentine rural town.”—Carlos Aguilar, Variety
Fake it ’til you make it. The latest gem from Amalia Ulman (El Planeta), Magic Farm takes us on a kaleidoscopic journey packed with twists and turns, cross-cultural encounters and true personalities.
When a misguided American documentary crew in search of their next viral segment ends up in the wrong town in rural Argentina, chaos ensues. As they collaborate with locals to fake a new music trend, unexpected relationships form, and an unfolding health crisis becomes apparent.
Colorful and unfiltered, Magic Farm is led by a stellar ensemble including Chloë Sevigny, Alex Wolff and Simon Rex. Shot through with a vivid sense of place, this Berlinale and Sundance selection combines a surreal send-up of the media with a heartfelt exploration of humanity. 2025, Argentina/U.S., DCP, in English and Spanish with English subtitles, 93 minutes.
