“Invasion, conceived by author Jorge Luis Borges, is an Iliad-inspired journey set in Aquiléa, a city under siege by sinister forces.
A group of middle-aged men resolve to mount resistance to the invaders. Meetings are held, maps are studied, strategies are proposed—but can the invasion really be overcome?
A former assistant to [Robert] Bresson, here making his feature-film debut, Hugo Santiago has created a work that is lyrical, unsettling, and infinitely suggestive.” —Film Society of Lincoln Center
