    Latin American Film Series Fall 2019 Javier Fuentes-León Undertow 2009 Constructing Happiness With a Carnal Ghost Manohla Dargis ! Nov 25, 2010 Article sourced from The New York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/26/movies/26undertow.html A small movie with a full heart, “Undertow” takes an old idea — the loving, lingering ghost — and gives it reverberant, resuscitated life. The story unwinds gracefully and with slow-building emotion in a tiny seaside village in remotest Peru, where, save for a few modern conveniences, people live much as they probably did decades earlier, pulling fish from the sea and bound by communal interdependence. There, a young fisherman, Miguel (Cristian Mercado), awaits the birth of his first child, an event that fills him with so much happiness that he shares his bliss generously with his beloved wife and his more adored male lover. When the movie opens, Miguel is already in the throes of a passionate affair with Santiago (Manolo Cardona), a gentle outsider who has set up an artist’s studio among the shacks. Using secret messages, the lovers meet in isolated locales, including a smattering of derelict buildings that evoke the home — and, by extension, the community — that they might have had together in a different life. In the village they play near strangers, passing each other with scarcely a look. Santiago takes photographs of Miguel from a safe distance, while Miguel works and socializes with the other fishermen with an easy, rough affection that expresses the acceptable limits of one man’s love for another man. The arrangement suits Miguel, or so he believes, but it gnaws deeply at Santiago.

  • The Survey of Palestine
    THE SURVEY OF PALESTINE. LIEUT. CLAUDE R. CONDER'S REPORTS. XXXII. BEIT JIBRIN, 20th Marcll, 1875. THE SVRVEY OF THE DEAD SEA DESERT, .lloD A VISIT TO MASADA. THE wearisome period of indoor work which we are yearly compelled to undergo during the violent cold and wet winter weather-a .time when we all suffered much in health, and which is never looked forward to with pleasure--is at length over, and I hope that only one more winter in Palestine remains to be gone through. On the 25th February, as soon as a storm of rain and wind had sub­ sided, we once more took the field. The expedition was cut down to the utmost, only such clothes as could be carried in the beds were allowed. Books, meteorological instruments, photographic apparatus, and one tent were left behind. Lieut. Kitchener having only just recovered from a sharp attack of fever, as well as our head servant, who has for some time past suffered very much from the effects of our hard campaign in the Jordan valley, remained in Jerusalem in order to complete the selling off of Fund property authorised by the Committee, and thus the party being reduced considerably, we managed to place our whole equipment, including barley for three days, upon twelve pack animals. The reason of this change was that we proposed, by forced marches and rapid work, to fill in the Judrean Desert from the line of Wady el Taamireh to the boundary of the trigonometrical survey at Wady Seiyal, 330 square miles in all, and as supplies were not to be obtained, nor camels to be hired in this wild district, we had to carry all we wanted with us, and it was a great object to move as rapidly as possible.
