The Delinquents (12A)

★★★★✭ ~ AllMovie.

---

Los Delincuentes is a free-flowing and delightful heist film like no other, from Rodrigo Moreno.

Buenos Aires bank employee Morán dreams up a scheme to liberate himself from corporate monotony: he’ll steal enough money to support a modest retirement, then confess and serve prison time while his co-worker holds on to the cash.

Soon under pressure by a company investigator, accomplice Román heads to a remote rural idyll to hide the funds.

There, he encounters a mysterious woman who will transform his life forever.

Argentina's Best International Feature Film entry to the Academy Awards. A Cannes Un Certain Regard, New York Film Festival and TIFF selection.

★★★★★ Utterly individual, this is one bank robbery film that writes its own cheques. ~ Financial Times.

★★★★★ If Pedro Almodóvar and Eric Rohmer teamed up to compose a meanderingly long crime caper it might look like this beguilingly surreal slow-motion Buenos Aires heist tale.~ The Guardian.

★★★★ ~ Little White Lies.

★★★★ ~ The Irish Times.
