Nine Queens

From talented young director Fabián Bielinsky comes this thrilling and widely praised cinematic debut. Set in Buenos Aires over the course of 24 hours, Nine Queens is a taut, highly seductive heist thriller in which nothing is what it seems, and no one can be trusted. A naive young con artist (Pauls) teams up with an enigmatic, experienced master criminal (Darín) for what could be the crime to end all crimes. But in a relationship propelled by brinkmanship and double-cross, corruption rarely has a happy ending. Remade in Hollywood as Criminal, Bielinsky’s original remains a landmark in recent Latin American cinema.
