Los
The central film in James Benning's Californian Trilogy, Los is a precisely crafted exploration of a Los Angeles rarely glimpsed on the silver screen.

A leading avant-garde filmmaker, Benning draws from the everyday, offering audiences ample space to engage with the deeply poetic and political narrative at play.

"With the exception of Luis Bunuel and Alfred Hitchcock, I can think of no filmmaker who has blossomed so impressively so late in his career" Scott Macdonald, Critical Cinema 5
