Argentinian film making keeps growing. Consider Americans buying the script and rights of Argentina's "The Nine Queens", a very clever thriller about street thieves and eventual swindlers. The two main actors are Ricardo Darin (who also performed in the Oscar-nominated "The Bride's Son")and Gaston Pauls. In this film, actors and actress are probably unknown. The set is theatrical, everything happens within the limits of an apartment with a terrace, connected to a studio by a window facing the terrace floor and the roofs of the surrounding houses. I saw it on cable TV, introduced by a well known and respected Arg. movie critic. Once the film was over, the Director, Jorge Zima, was interviewed live by the critic. The acting is wonderful, the story and script (by the Director) are very good, and the proposal is somewhat a different view on infidelity, i.e. the actual "feelings" at skin level of the one performing adultery. The story is believable. I recommend this film.
