The Delinquents
12A
With nods to Pedro Almodóvar and Eric Rohmer, Rodrigo Moreno’s playful take on the heist movie is both charming and inventive – securing the film as Argentina's entry for Best International Feature Film at the upcoming Oscars.
Drama • Funny • Philosophical
Bank employee Morán schemes to steal enough money to liberate himself from corporate monotony, then confess and serve prison time while his co-worker hides the cash. Soon under pressure by a company investigator, accomplice Román encounters a mysterious woman who will transform him forever. Which is just the start of this intriguingly meandering, gentle epic of identity and freedom.
