5/5

“ The everlasting process of disintegration ”

'Lost Children Archive' is a road trip of a most haunting and melancholic kind. There is a mixture of idealism and futility in a New York couple's voyage towards America's southern border undertaken for divergent reasons which will ultimately undermine their relationship. The interplay between their seemingly programmed separation and their children's unique sense of wonder evokes the ticking of an infernal time bomb set to reveal irreconciliable truths which threaten to tear them asunder.... a pathetic counterpoint with the fate of Mexican refugees unaware of the dangers facing them as they head northward towards refuge in America. Vital reading for dangerous times.
