Sovereign will release Viggo Mortensen drama Eureka this coming January, according to an official press release. The film is directed by acclaimed Argentine auteur Lisandro Alonso (who wrote the script with renowned Argentinian authors Martin Camaño and Fabian Casas). Here, he is reunited with Academy Award nominee Viggo Mortensen (Green Book), who starred in the director’s 2014’s Cannes award-winning Jauja.
Chiara Mastroianni (2019 Winner of the Un Certain Regard Best Actress award for On a Magical Night), Sadie Lapointe and Alaina Clifford are also among the cast of the film which had its World Premiere at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.
The story is as follows:
Alaina is tired of being a police officer in the Pine Ridge Reservation and decides to stop answering her radio. Her niece Sadie spends a long night waiting for her, to no avail. Hurt, she decides to begin her journey with the help of her grandfather: she will fly through time and space to South America, finally she will stop watching old black and white westerns that do not represent her in any way, and everything will feel different when she hears the dreams of other people, those who live in the forest. But there will be no definitive conclusions… Birds don’t talk to humans, yet if only we could understand them, they would surely have a few truths to tell us.
The specific date of release is 26th January.
More as it comes in.
