Beta Cinema has sold the North American rights for “Adios Buenos Aires” to Outsider Pictures, which plans to release the charming comedy drama in spring 2024 throughout the U.S. and Canada.
The multiple audience award winner has also sold to Argentina (Cinetren), South Korea (Challan), Israel (Nachshon Films), Portugal (Nos Lusomundo Audiovisuais), Switzerland (Xenix Film Distribution), Bulgaria (Beta Film) and former Yugoslavia (Discovery). Spafax has picked up selected airline rights.

The film starts in Buenos Aires in November 2001. Argentina is embroiled in crisis, with the peso plunging deeper and deeper. Julio Färber, the charismatic bandoneon player of the Vecinos de Pompeya, a five-piece working-class tango band,...

"I'm going to count to three... and you'll go back to the past." Scream Factory has released an official trailer for On The 3rd Day, an Argentinian horror fantasy thriller launching on VOD / DVD this March in the US. It played at last year's Fantasia Film Festival and opened in Argentina earlier that year. While on a trip with her young son, Cecilia has a car accident. Three days later, she finds herself wandering a lonely road with no sign of her child—and no memory of what happened since the crash. Cecilia's desperate search for her son leads her on a tumultuous journey to face off against a religious fanatic who holds the shocking key to it all. The film stars Mariana Anghileri as Cecilia, along with Arturo Bonín, Diego Cremonesi, Lautaro Delgado, Mathias Domizi, & Nicolás Galvagno. This certainly looks creepy and strange. Unfortunately this trailer has English dubbing which is just awful,...

Benjamin Naishtat's Rojo - screened in competition at Marrakech Film Festival last week - is set in the Seventies on the cusp of the Argentine dictatorship, which would go on to see 30,000 people disappear. Its political themes are stitched firmly into a darkly comic genre thriller, which sees small town lawyer Claudio (Dario Grandinetti) find himself in a restaurant face-off with an apparently unhinged stranger (Diego Cremonesi) - a situation which later escalates and leads to a night-time trip to the desert. The idea of the middle-classes closing ranks and choosing what to see and what not to see runs deep in the film, as Claudio finds himself under...

The past is a hurriedly abandoned house, ripe for the looting, in Benjamin Naishtat’s superbly sinister and stylish “Rojo.” And so it begins with one: A mid-sized, detached 1970s home, its windows shuttered like the closed eyes of a coma patient. A portly, well-dressed man emerges carrying an ornamental clock — this scoreless scene, set to chilly early-morning birdsong, is already tinged with absurdity — before a girl scurries off with an armful of clothes, an older lady totters out under the weight of a gilt mirror and some men maneuver a TV through the doorway. They are not residents, nor neighbors attending a yard sale; they are scavengers, implicitly turning some unseen family’s misfortune to their own end. This is regional Argentina in 1975, and while the coup d’état won’t happen for months, the unease of it is already an airborne disease carried backward on the wind. Argentina...

Rojo opens as people leave a house with objects in-hand, the assumption being that they were bought in an estate sale or pilfered before one could begin. A man (Diego Cremonesi) looks in the front door as clueless as we are to what’s happening before a jump cut finds him entering a packed restaurant. Impatient by the bar, he gruffly asks a gentleman seated alone (Dario Grandinetti’s Claudio) if he’s done eating. An argument colored by entitlement and false manners respectively breaks out until chaos reigns supreme. It’s a wild, disorienting scene culminating with the credits above silent scenes of calm in the aftermath once Claudio’s wife (Andrea Frigerio) arrives. Two gunshots and a trip to the desert later ready the real drama to commence.

"Never forget I was a cop, before being a famous TV celebrity." ScreenDaily has debuted the first official trailer for an Argentinian film premiering at the Toronto Film Festival in just a few weeks. Rojo is the latest film from Argentinian filmmaker Benjamín Naishtat, set in the mid-1970s (when mustaches were still a big thing) following a successful lawyer with a comfortable life in a small town. A strange man arrives and starts insulting him, but the locals defend him and throw him out. Later that night the lawyer takes a path of no return involving death, secrets and silences. Starring Dario Grandinetti, Andrea Frigerio, Alfredo Castro, and Diego Cremonesi. Tiff says that Naishtat "deliberately builds a quiet mood of foreboding and impeding doom through a carefully constructed, almost hypnotic narrative." View some footage below. Here's the first official trailer for Benjamín Naishtat's Rojo, direct from ScreenDaily's YouTube:...

Title: Penumbra Directors: Adrian and Ramiro Garcia Bogliano Starring: Cristina Brondo, Camila Bordonaba, Sebastian Muniz, Mirella Pascual, Diego Cremonesi, Victoria Witemburg, Omar Gioiosa, Maria Nela Sinisterra An Argentinean import that scared up a big positive reaction at last year’s Fantastic Fest, “Penumbra” is a slick, teasing, well constructed genre offering that rather skillfully exploits audience antipathy toward its bitch-on-wheels protagonist in slowly unspooling the story of a potential cult looking to find a secluded apartment in advance of an extremely rare solar eclipse. A thriller long on suspense if short on eventual explication, the movie is anchored by a fierce performance from Cristina Brondo. “Penumbra” is set in Buenos Aires. After a [ Read More ]...
