Inner Outer Space

About This Movie

So, Inner Outer Space is this intriguing triptych by Lertxundi, who, after moving to Spain, seems to weave her California sensibilities into a fresh landscape. You get these three pieces—Teatrillo, Inner Outer Space, and Under the Nothing Night—that feel distinct yet connected, almost like a fragmented dream. The sun-drenched visuals are stunning, with that unmistakable blue sky and shimmering sea, creating a contemplative atmosphere. The pacing is meditative, allowing you to really soak in the themes of space, absence, and connection. It's not just a visual experience; you can feel the weight of memory and identity in every frame, making it a fascinating exploration of Lertxundi’s evolving perspective.

This film has seen limited physical releases, making its availability somewhat scarce among collectors. The triptych format is particularly intriguing, as it allows Lertxundi's unique style to shine through in varied narratives. As a first major work after her relocation, this piece draws attention for its shift in setting while retaining her signature atmospheric quality. It's definitely piqued interest among those who appreciate experimental cinema and the evolution of filmmakers.
