“In Fantasma, Misael and Argentino wander through the Cinemateca Argentina building in Buenos Aires as their films are projected in an empty screening room. The characters are as solitary here as they are in their natural habitats, phantasms invisible to an audience that is absent, somewhere out there beyond the windows that face the street—and that presumably prefers to watch other films. Fantasma expresses Alonso’s identification with his characters’ invisibility—it’s as if they, together with the films in which they appear, belong to a phantom dimension.” (Quintín)
