Review of Patagonia

Patagonia (2010)
10/10
The most beautiful film I have seen in years
9 March 2011
I saw this film without knowing much about it except that there was a migration of some Welsh people from Europe to Patagonia in the 1865. There are two stories unfolding simultaneously in the present day; one of a Welsh couple travelling in Patagonia and the other of an elderly grandmother and her teenage nephew travelling in Wales in search of her mother's farm. Each story is utterly convincingly told, amid breathtaking textures of Argentinan and Walsh landscapes and although there is no connection at all between them, the two stories balance each other perfectly in the way the relationships develop.

This film is of course in Spanish and Welsh but is intelligently subtitled in English so as not to damage the film's beauty.
