Making a Psychological Masterpiece | THE CURRENTS Director Milagros Mumenthaler

INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE | THE CURRENTS — Director Milagros Mumenthaler

What happens when a woman survives an inexplicable impulse — and tells no one?

In this episode, Greg Laemmle and Raphael Sbarge sit down with Argentinian-Swiss filmmaker Milagros Mumenthaler to discuss her haunting new psychological drama THE CURRENTS, distributed by Kino Lorber and an Official Selection of TIFF 2025.

THE CURRENTS follows Lina, a Buenos Aires fashion designer who, while accepting an award in Switzerland, is suddenly overtaken by an urge to jump from a bridge into an icy river. She survives. She says nothing. But she is never the same.

In conversation, Mumenthaler unpacks the film's obsessions: identity and exile, the body's hidden memory, motherhood, artistic crisis, and the life we perform versus the truths we can no longer suppress. They also explore Buenos Aires as a living presence, the influence of Virginia Woolf, and the challenge of putting interior life on screen.

For fans of slow-burn psychological drama, Latin American cinema, and bold auteur filmmaking.

Starring Isabel Aimé González Sola & Esteban Bigliardi Distributed by Kino Lorber
