Movies by Amalia Ulman

Amalia Ulman is a rising talent in the world of independent cinema, crafting bold, visually striking films that explore the complexities of modern life. Defying easy categorization, Ulman's work blends elements of drama, dark comedy, and experimental art to offer a unique perspective on the human experience. At the heart of Ulman's filmography is a fascination with the intersections of class, gender, and identity. Her feature debut, 2021's "El Planeta," is a standout example, a slyly satirical tale of a mother and daughter navigating financial hardship in the aftermath of the 2008 economic crisis. With its meticulously curated aesthetic and deadpan humor, the film showcases Ulman's keen eye for the absurdities of contemporary consumer culture. Ulman's earlier works, such as the darkly comedic "Buyer Walker Rover (Yiwu) Aka. There Then" (2019) and the conceptual "The Future Ahead" (2014), further demonstrate her willingness to push boundaries and challenge conventions. Whether exploring the surreal world of online personas in "Buyer Walker Rover" or delving into the complexities of female friendship in "The Future Ahead," Ulman consistently delivers thought-provoking narratives that linger in the mind long after the credits roll. With her upcoming project, the mysterious "Magic Farm" (2025), audiences can expect Ulman to continue her trajectory as a bold, visionary filmmaker, unafraid to tackle the most pressing issues of our time.
