Rojo

Set in Argentina during the Dirty War of the mid-seventies, on the eve of the nation's descent into a military dictatorship, Benjamín Naishtat's hypnotic neo-noir drama follows Claudio (Dario Grandinetti, WILD TALES, TALK TO HER) a renowned lawyer living a seemingly picture-perfect life in a deceptively quiet provincial city. One night, a stranger starts insulting Claudio in a restaurant for no apparent reason. The community supports him and the stranger is humiliated and removed. Later that night, the stranger — determined to wreak a terrible vengeance — intercepts Claudio and his wife Susana (Andrea Frigerio). Claudio then starts down a path of no return involving death, secrets, and silence — further complicated by the arrival of a Chilean private detective (Alfredo Castro, THE CLUB, TONY MANERO).
