Amalia Ulman & Chloë Sevigny Say 'Magic Farm' Is a Serious Comedy
Argentina has been in the news quite a bit this week with the recent passing of Pope Francis, who was born in Buenos Aires. It's also the stomping ground of rising artist and filmmaker Amalia Ulman, whose follow-up to her acclaimed movie El Planeta is set primarily in Argentina despite being an English-language film. Magic Farm offers a uniquely charming cinematic experience. Its infectiously absurd comedic vibes may bring to mind Napoleon Dynamite, but the actual subject matter grazes a pertinent health crisis looming in South America and other parts of the world. In effect, writer-director-star Ulman creates an exciting end result that is at once funny and thought-provoking while we follow along with a bumbling American film crew trying to make TV gold in a rural Argentine town — often to disastrous results.
