The Currents

Milagros Mumenthaler’s The Currents is an ambitious, at times convoluted feature, one that often reflects the complexities of women’s inner lives. Mumenthaler’s perspective is consistently observational, going so far as to mimic the path of the human eye. Her vision is compelling; she is an artist and a feminist with a promising career ahead of her. Kudos to Mumenthaler for playing with the medium and daring to link the primary character’s story into a larger community of friends and strangers, creating a fascinating portrait of a bustling Buenos Aires in the process.
