Carancho (2010)

The best way I can describe this story is one of constantly turning tables.  Just when you think you have it figured out, things change.  There is enough drama, enough funny, enough blood, and plenty of little surprises to make this otherwise slow-moving story interesting.

Ricardo Darín is too good for words.  His chemistry with Martina Gusman is tragic, magic, and works.  I usually love Argentine cinema.  They have such a wide range of quirky topics.  This one included.  Happy endings do not appear part of their repertoire.  No spoilers here.

Watch this movie with someone who worries about their car insurance.
