Carancho 2010 ★★★★

Reviewed Sep 20, 2011

An original crime drama out of Argentina and starring Ricardo Darín - who seems to have been in every Argentinian film I’ve ever seen (and all first rate watching). This time Darín plays an anti-hero who is involved in setting up auto insurance shakedowns. He meets a young doctor and an unlikely love story evolves. The tone is beautifully dark, like a modern noir, and the complex character relationships are fascinating viewing as they grapple with the sense of hopelessness that is closing in on them.
