Vidiots, Los Angeles

**Screenwriter**: Lucrecia Martel **Producers**: Agustín Almodóvar, Pedro Almodóvar, Tilde Corsi, Verónica Cura Vidiots is thrilled to welcome the legendary and luminous filmmaker **Lucrecia Martel** for a very special evening featuring her mesmerizing mystery *The Headless Woman*. A bourgeois middle-aged dentist named Veronica (MARIA ONETTO) drives alone on a dirt road, becomes distracted, and runs over something.  Immediately she becomes disoriented, unmoored from her identity and reality, like a sleepwalker who’s actually awake.  As the week go on, she becomes obsessed with the possibility that she may have killed someone: a young boy whose body is found in a roadside canal.  Veronica tries to piece together what happened while her husband systematically erases her tracks.  A chilling parable about a woman in shock, Lucrecia Martel’s third feature explores the intricacies of class and the role of women in a male-dominated society. This screening will be preceded by an introduction by **Lucrecia Martel**. Join us at 6:30pm for a screening of her newest film *[Our Land (Nuestra Tierra)](https://vidiotsfoundation.org/movies/our-land-nuestra-tierra/)* which will be followed by a conversation with Martel.
