From time to time you have step outside of your comfort zone and see what is going on in the world of independent filmmaking in other parts of the world. There are some real surprises to be found out there.
None better than MVD Entertainment Group’s Mar. 12 import from Argentina, Punto Rojo, written and directed by Nicanor Loreti. Both DVD and Blu-ray editions will be available.
We find Diego (Demian Salomon — Satanic Hispanics, When Evil Lurks, Terrified, etc.) sitting in his car — in the middle of literally nowhere — listening to his radio. We quickly discover that he is thief, a criminal and a beyond-reason fan of the Racing Club soccer team … it’s an obsession.
There’s also a little something in the trunk his car (which will be revealed over time), but Diego’s focus right at the moment is what’s on the radio. So imagine how irritated he becomes when a dead body lands on the hood of his car! WHAM!
Soon, Paula (Mariana Anghileri — La Corporacion, Buena Vida), who was responsible for the dead body, parachutes in and all hell breaks loose. The why of it you will have to discover for yourself, but let’s just say that Diego is on a mission — when not distracted by Racing Club news — and even the assassin skills of a secret agent will not stand in his way.
Nicanor Loreti’s Punto Rojo is a delightful tongue-in-cheek thriller — minimalist in nature — that is presented in Spanish with English subtitles.
Bonus features include commentary by filmmaker Nicanor Loreti and the short film titled Pinball.
