Death In Buenos Aires

The biggest hit of the year in its native Argentina, DEATH IN BUENOS AIRES is a gripping police thriller about corruption, paranoia, and the secret homosexual lives of the wealthy elite of Buenos Aires during the politically tumultuous 1980s. At the scene of a murder of one of the city's high society figures, veteran police inspector Chavez (Academy Award nominee, A Beat Life, 2011) Demian Bichir, runs into Gomez (Chino Darin), a.k.a. “El Ganso” (The Goose), a handsome young rookie cop with dreams of advancement. When Chavez uncovers that the murder may be linked to a small-time hustler, and the gay nightclub La Manila, the detective sends the rookie undercover to pose as a gay newcomer on the prowl for an older benefactor. As they reach close to luring out the killer, the erotic charge of their modern surroundings triggers changes in both Chavez and Gomez. Director Natalia Meta's deeply involving debut film delivers rich, multi-faceted characters that match the complexity of its riveting story.

Better than average

I guess the film needed to be set in the eighties to explain the corruption and cover ups. The set designers and director did a good occupation of making Buenos Aires and its locales see authentically retro.

Ambiguity pervades the film in both a sexual sense, in the relationships between the main male actors and the plotline of the aftermath of the murder.

We can be pretty sure of who the murderer is fairly quickly but his denials ring true and lead to the viewer's discombobulation as to who really did it.

Everyone is raving about Chino Darín as Ganso and it's true, he is an utter hunk with a magnetism and attractiveness that are used to great effect in the movie. But Demián Bichir as Chávez also looks incredibly good for his age.

The film kept you guessing as to how it would be resolved right up to the terminate. I wasn't expecting that particular ending but in the context what had come before, the way it happened and what did happen were a continuation of the underlying themes of the film.

This was a worthwhile ninety minutes.

    Death In Buenos Aires opens with the confront of a attractive young man sitting at the edge of a luxurious bed. Just behind him, soaked in blood, yet peacefully dead, is a man of Argentinian high society. It so happens that he was lgbtq+. Inspector Chavez and his partner Officer Dolores Petric come at the scene. The beautiful immature man, we are told, is Officer Gomez, who create the body. He insists on helping with the case, and soon becomes ‘el ganso’ (the goose) who is sent to mingle with a suspect to find leads.

    Using the murder analysis as the lens, director and co-writer Natalia Meta takes us back to 1980s Argentina — a country navigating its volatile democracy, a judiciary that parties with the rich, a population uncomfortable with its sexual mores entity challenged, and a world where death is treated with nonchalance. This society is as obscure as its colourful, and Meta brings it to animation with sharp wit and dark humour.
