The movie "Jauja" is technically perfect but don't try to find a linear or coherent plot. It seems the author and director Lisandro Alonso throw on the screen what goes on in his subconscious and only he himself knows the meaning of some scenes (or not!!). Sometimes they look like a loose collage of images and sounds. Alonso places the central character in a desolate and hostile Latin environment, completely different from his Danish ancestors. His daughter disappears and the quest to find her reflects his own struggle in life. The film is full of allusions and metaphor that is tiring and monotonous. The film has astounding photography. Not for everyone!
