You Burn Me

Directed by Matías Piñeiro


| 2024 | 64 min

The films of Argentinian filmmaker Matías Piñeiro are luminously idiosyncratic. Fascinated by the textures of language and everyday life, his modestly produced films are simultaneously breezy pleasures and dense with oblique meaning. His latest film You Burn Me is a quasi-adaptation of two texts: “Sea Foam” by Cesare Pavese, and surviving fragments of the ancient queer poet Sappho. With the help of a 16mm Bolex camera and the natural poetry of shooting a movie at the beach, Piñeiro spins these works into a labyrinthine reverie on the distances that define life, art and time. Moviejuice is thrilled to be presenting a work by one of the 21st century’s most exciting and idiosyncratic filmmakers for the first time in Adelaide. Featuring a special introduction by Adelaide’s biggest Piñeiro head Jordy Pollock.
