Viewing Notes
FF2010 Day Seven: Film #3 - For my 6pm slot I watched the much raved about Carancho (2010). This Argentine film directed by Pablo Trapero turned out to be my biggest disappointment of the day. I’m sure it was my expectations of thinking it would be something else along with the hype (the moderator even said it was his favorite of the festival). It’s a competent film but I found it generally boring and uninspired. In summary, it’s about fake insurance claims to get easy cash that spins into a thriller as the main protagonist (played by the very capable Ricardo Darín) goes against those running the racket. Martina Gusman is quite attractive to watch onscreen but otherwise this didn’t work for me.
