Carancho
[R]oad accidents have become an epidemic in Argentina. More than eight thousand people die each year and more than 120,000 are injured. It has become a vital part of the economy for unscrupulous lawyers and wary insurance companies plagued by compensation claims. In Buenos Aires, Sosa (Ricardo Darin) is an ambulance-chasing lawyer working for a foundation that oozes concern for grieving families and injured parties whilst plotting to retain the lion’s share of any money they receive.
(...) Lujan (Martina Gusman) is a young doctor working all the hours she can to build a career. Her work in the emergency services brings her into constant contact with Sosa and sparks a tentative romance that will be tested to the limits by the consequences of his well-intentioned actions.
(...) Carancho keeps you rooting for the central couple to escape their fate that is one of the surest signs of just how involving it becomes.
Allan Hunter, Screen International
Carancho is a masterful piece of work (...). Trapero serves notice here that he is one of the very best filmmakers in the world today.
