Carancho (2010)

Member Rating:

Auto accidents are an epidemic in Argentina, and two people with very different perspectives on the crisis are brought together in this drama from filmmaker Pablo Trapero. Sosa (Ricardo Darín) was once a respected attorney until his license to practice law was suspended, and now he makes ends meet offering his services under the table to accident victims hoping to make money in a lawsuit. One day, while staking out the scene of an auto wreck, Sosa meets Luján (Martina Gusman), a doctor who treats urgent cases. Despite her seemingly noble line of work, Luján has demons of her own, including a dependency on drugs, and she finds herself attracted to the morally conflicted lawyer, even after he helps to arrange for an accident for the benefit of a friend. Carancho was an official selection at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Very disappointing movie, both in its content and the quality of the subtitles, which are difficult to read

A very good all around foreign film. Some scenes not for the faint of heart. The acting is very good but what stood out was the excellent directing and use of camera in the action scenes. Warning: The subtitles move quick and are small, but well worth the effort.

Every day, 22 persons lose their lives in Argentine traffic accidents. This gruesome fact has led to a sleazy underworld of ambulance chasers in the nationâs capital of Buenos Aires, the center for most of the fatalities. In the compelling âCarancho,â Ricardo DarÃn, who seems to be the star of every excellent Argentine movie made in recent years, is a lawyer who has lost his license and is forced to earn a living as a new age ghoul. But this gritty film, masterfully directed by Pablo Trapero, is also a love story as Sosa (Ricardo DarÃn) and LujÃ¡n (Martina Gusman), a doctor who frequently has ambulance duty, attempt to find a meaningful life while caught in this violent and unforgiving world. This is a movie that makes it impossible for the viewer to look away from the screen, all the way from the opening shots to the smashing ending. Most highly recommended.
