La Relacion

press release: LakeFrontRow and Madison Public Library present LA RELACION, a gorgeous feature-length period piece from Milwaukee's Samuel Kasper. After washing up on the shore of the New World, a shipwrecked explorer finds his humanity slowly slip away in the presence of his surviving crewmen. Inspired by the ill-fated Narváez expedition, Kasper's 16th-century slice of survivalism impresses in its scope and its technicality. Shot entirely at Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula and with only natural light, LA RELACION combines the spiritual wonder of Terrence Malick with the primal impulses of Alejandro Iñárritu.
