Inside the arthouse

The Fishing Place

A new movie lands in theaters, called THE FISHING PLACE, directed by the indie maverick Rob Tregenza.  

The FISHING PLACE has drawn high praise with rave reviews from Richard Brody in The New Yorker calling it, “Spectacularly conceived,” and that Tregenza is “An artisan of the highest order.” Manohla Dargis of The New York Times calls Tregenza, “An Authentic Independent who holds you rapt.” 

 Rob Tregenza has done a bit of everything in the world of arthouse cinema.

 As a distributor, he brought to US cinemas works by Michael Haneke, Jacques Rivette, and Jean-Luc Godard.

 As a cinematographer, he shot Bela Tarr’s WERCKMEISTER HARMONIES.

 And, as a director, his films TALKING TO STRANGERS, INSIDE/OUT and GAVAGAI drew so much critical praise that he received a retrospective tribute from the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.  

 As THE FISHING PLACE rolls out to theaters across the US, we asked Rob to join us for a wide-ranging conversation about art and the search for meaning and beauty in cinema.

The Fishing Place
David is in his 30s, overweight, homosexual and with a crippling fear of flying. He regretfully returns to his native Argentina to attend his uncle’s funeral. There he will reconnect with his mother and his Jewish family, while embarking on a quest across Buenos Aires to quench his anxiety via driving lessons, seeking cheap healthcare and trying to sleep with any man that shows him a little attention.
