“This is one of the most atmospheric and transporting films I’ve seen all year, and also one of the best.”
Justin Chang
Los Angeles Times
Zama, an officer of the Spanish Crown born in South America, waits for a letter from the King granting him a transfer from the town in which he is stagnating, to a better place. His situation is delicate. He must ensure that nothing overshadows his transfer. He is forced to accept submissively every task entrusted to him by successive Governors who come and go as he stays behind. The years go by and the letter from the King never arrives. When Zama notices everything is lost, he joins a party of soldiers that go after a dangerous bandit.
Note: All dialog in films from non-English speaking countries will be presented in its original language accompanied by English subtitles.
