Director: Rodrigo Moreno
Starring: Daniel Elías, Esteban Bigliardi, Margarita Molfino
Argentina, 2024, 3 hours 9 minutes, Spanish + English subtitles

Flouting the high octane conventions of the heist movie, the execution of this particular perfect crime is wayward, leisurely and deadpan. Buenos Aires bank employee Morán is bored with his job and decides to steal enough money never to have to work again, confess and serve out the prison sentence while his colleague Román hides the cash. But the plot unravels. The getaway Román sets off on takes him deep into the remote heart of the country with distractions around every corner. Playful and meandering, this has the makings of a slow crime cult classic.

“[a] deeply strange, utterly distinctive, beguiling and fantastical shaggy-dog story.” 5* Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
