Movies by Nele Wohlatz

Nele Wohlatz is an Argentine film director whose poetic, observational style has earned her acclaim as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary world cinema. Wohlatz's films often take an intimate, unhurried look at the lives of ordinary people, finding beauty and meaning in the quotidian moments that define the human experience. Wohlatz first gained attention with her 2014 debut, The Perfect Backpack, a delicate character study that established her talent for crafting subtle, naturalistic performances. This eye for detail and character-driven storytelling would become hallmarks of her filmography, which spans documentary, fiction, and experimental forms. In works like Countryside Lovers and Three Sentences About Argentina, Wohlatz blends observational realism with lyrical visual poetry, constructing meditative portraits that linger in the mind long after viewing. More recently, Wohlatz has continued to push the boundaries of her craft, as seen in the elliptical, time-shifting structure of 2017's acclaimed The Future Perfect and the immersive, sensory approach of 2021's Turista. Sleep with Your Eyes Open, her forthcoming film, promises to further cement her reputation as a filmmaker of rare insight and artistry, unafraid to take risks in pursuit of capturing the profound within the everyday.
