I've been a big fan of recent-ish Argentinian movies, becoming as they have something akin to a mini-French cinema, bringing us such simple, credible, excellent films as Tan de Repente, Bombon El Perro and others as well as the more involved Nine Queens.
Starring the ace face of Argentine drama, Ricardo Darín, Carancho charts a motor insurance attorney (read: "fixer") and the shady doings which he and others are embroiled in. Kind-of smelt a rat from the academic introduction before the movie which risked straying into film theory, but that's an easy swipe in retrospect. The film is OK, but lacking "something" and veering into 6-out-of-10 territory.
It is exceedingly well photographed though.
