The Rind

2007. Uruguay/Argentina/Spain. Written and directed by Carlos Ameglio. When the brains behind a corporate advertising team dies, Pedro, the lazy, delusional survivor, takes all the credit and steps into his ex-partner’s life. Excellent performances lend this quirky film unexpected depth, and first-time director Ameglio deftly juggles black comedy, biting satire, and possibly even the supernatural. In Spanish; English subtitles. 105 min.
