Exclusive Trailer and Poster for Lisandro Alonso’s Double Freedom Highlights a Significant Reunion

      One of the most eagerly awaited premieres of this year is an unusual event for the Cannes Film Festival: a sequel. Completing a circle, Lisandro Alonso’s latest feature serves as a continuation of his celebrated debut, La libertad. Titled Double Freedom (or La libertad doble), the film revisits woodcutter Misael (Misael Saavedra) 25 years later and is described as a meta narrative exploring the significance of creative autonomy. After nearly a decade since his last two films, we are delighted to have Alonso return so soon. In anticipation of its world premiere at Directors’ Fortnight this Saturday, we are excited to exclusively unveil the trailer and poster.

      Here’s a brief synopsis: “Misael works in solitude. Equipped with his axe, he cuts down trees in the forest. An unforeseen obligation disrupts his life, and the flow of his days slowly transforms into a wildness where human logic no longer applies.”

      “Twenty-five years after La Libertad, Lisandro Alonso comes together with Misael in a significant and powerful act,” said Luxbox CEO Fiorella Moretti to Variety. “The outcome is as poignant as it is unforgettable. We take pride in continuing our partnership with Lisandro, a director with such a unique vision.”
