A significant example of New Argentine Cinema’s more mainstream strand, Nine Queens takes the pulse of a country on the brink of political and economic crisis through a con story in which nothing is what it seems. Juan, who makes a living scamming small convenience stores, meets a petty thief named Marco while on a job. They begin working together, but the prospect of a major heist will test how far they can trust one another. Fabián Bielinsky’s assured debut attracted film lovers worldwide on its release thanks to its inventive direction, black humor and a screenplay full of relentless surprises. One of the most talked-about films of the 2000s, it quickly acquired cult status.
