From the producer of Wild Tales, Pedro Almodovar, comes Pablo Trapero’s multi award winning thriller The Clan. Based on real events that shocked Argentina in the 1980s, Guillermo Francella (Secrets In Their Eyes) plays Arquimedes Puccio – a relic of a fallen dictatorship that thought nothing of having those who opposed it “disappear.” With democracy on the rise, but memories of the past still haunting those who lived through it, Arquimedes makes ends meet by kidnapping members of the bourgeois elite and holding them to ransom. But with eldest son Alex’s rugby career quickly taking shape, keeping “work” and family separate proves to be increasingly difficult. Channeling Scorsese with his effortless fusion of music, fashion, and bravura filmmaking, director Trapero was the winner of the Silver Lion at the recent Venice Film Festival. Delivering a gripping, icy performance as the patriarch who’ll do anything for his family, Francella gives one of the best performances of the year. Uncovering a breathtaking true-crime story that occurred at the dawn of a new age for Argentina, The Clan is a thriller not to be missed.
