Carancho

Sosa (Ricardo Darin) is an ambulance chasing lawyer who isn’t above staging accidents when there aren’t any ambulances to chase. Lujan (Martina Gusman) is an EMT so addicted to the thrill of going out on calls that she needs to inject herself with heroin to calm down after every shift. They’re not exactly the nicest people to be sure, but that doesn’t make the passion that erupts between Sosa and Lujan any less believable thanks to two incredible performances. The story has more twists and turns than an out of control roller coaster, and writer/director Pablo Trapero makes you feel every one of them. It’s a ride you want to go on again and again.
