The Triptych of Mondongo, dir. Mariano Llínas, Argentina 2024, Spanish with English subtitles, 325 min.
Book tickets
From the great fabulist Mariano Llínas, producer, writer, director and actor of Extraordinary Stories and La Flor, comes an equally unconventional and freewheeling trilogy of films centred upon Argentine art-collective Mondongo.
Invited by ArtHaus Central in Buenos Aires to make a film about Mondongo and to document their creation of a baptistry out of colourful plasticine, Llinás quickly grows restless and the collaboration begins to go off the rails. Taking Johannes Itten’s seminal study of color theory from 1961, the source of Mondongo’s work, as the inspiration for his own poetic and comedic flights of fancy, Llínas sets about beating the artists at their own game.
Programme
Part 1 - El Equilibrista (113 mins)
Part 2 - Retrato de Mondongo (122 mins)
Part 3 - Kunst Der Farbe (90 mins)
