CASTRO

Argentina
2009
88 minutes

A man runs away to Buenos Aires with his girlfriend, chased for unknown reasons by his ex-wife and three other men. Bizarre but very endearing nonsensical comedy that looks like an updated Keystone Kops chase short magnified into Beckettian absurdism. Not to everyone's taste, but very original.
