Lucrecia Martel’s third feature film, shot in her native Salta, stars Vero, a woman beset by confusion. Distracted while driving, she thinks she has run over someone. All she sees on the side of the road is a dead dog. Anchored in a powerful political context, La mujer sin cabeza reflects on the mechanisms of denial and highlights the forms that dissolution of responsibility can take.
