In Katie's absence I've been working my way through what I'm told is the best of Argentine cinema. If you've seen anything good from this part of the world, I'd love a suggestion. Pithy Time Out stylee reviews accompany:
1. Buenos Aires Vice Versa
Wandering cameras find their way through parallel relationships of two sisters fighting their way through a dying and reborn Buenos Aires. (Trapdoor: that review is based almost entirely on the soundtrack, as enforced by the lack of English subtitles. And I still sat through the entire film.)
2. Pizza, Birra, Faso.
Low-budget, street urchin tragedy. Thoughtful without really being thought-provoking, unconvincing denouement, but a convincing depiction on the timeless theme of loyalty amongst thieves.
3. Neuve Reinas.
Class, with a twist as delicious as the lime in a Bond Martini.
To be continued...
