Three by Pablo Trapero
Featuring a new introduction by the filmmaker One of the driving forces of contemporary Argentine cinema, director Pablo Trapero delves into his country’s gritty underbelly with heart-racing immediacy. Plunging fearlessly into a women’s prison ( Lion’s Den ), the corrupt mean streets of Buenos Aires ( Carancho ), and Argentina’s shantytown slums ( White Elephant ), Trapero’s films crackle with an electrifying realism and unrelenting intensity that have earned them comparisons to the work of Martin Scorsese. Featuring powerful performances from the director’s regular collaborator Martina Gusmán and Argentine superstar Ricardo Darín, these white-hot social dramas are searing portraits of life on the unforgiving margins.
