Three boys, sons of the suburb, the street and the economic depression, stroll for a microworld where the crime, the incomprehension and the solitude are his permanent companies.
I decided a long time ago not to do any more synopses of my films. I want people to arrive without knowing what they are going to watch. There won't be a trailer either – they're liars AND they never really reflect the spirit of the film. Thanks for understanding.
The cynical philosophers lived in Ancient Greece. Its name comes from the word "dog", denomination attributed by its frugal way of living. They considered that civilization was an evil and so they despised riches and repudiated sciences, norms, and conventions.
A film-maker in a poor town in Argentina is working on a film which is split into three chapters in the tradition of jidaigeki, the old Japanese swordfight films. In the first part, a samurai murders the son of a brothel owner and the father swears revenge. In the second, a woman loves a benevolent samurai but is forced to become the lover of a rogue. And in the last chapter, a samurai returns from war and doesn't recognize his wife any more. All this happens in an enchanted world of haunting beauty, underscored with snatches of Cumbia rhythms, string motifs by Samuel Barber and melodies by Chet Baker. Samuray-s is a cinematic adventure.
Graciadió will premiere in Ituzaingó and the show will reunite Violeta Naón and Gustavo Prone, its protagonists, who have not met again in the last eight years. Perrone takes the opportunity to make another film, Eight years later, the story of those two actors and their reunion. To preserve the truth of this new encounter between Violeta and Gustavo, Perrone filmed the entire film with unique shots, without repeating any. One of them a long flat-sequence of 25 minutes.
Perrone switches back to color and chooses European painting as the space for his tale and as his land of experimentation. The stage: paintings by Manet, Monet, Renoir, among other chosen artists; still, open-air landscapes put together through their similarities. The characters who move there: two men, two women, two hunters, two ominous creatures (one of them a tiny creature of the night with two eyes and a brutish and wild human body). Divided in 18 acts, the narrative of this film is limited to showing brief episodes about desire and violence as the fuel of human endeavors, while its characters roam in the woods. With no words at all, Perrone wagers all on the juxtaposition of textures, on superimpositions, and on the power of face close-ups – these are his main arguments.
It is the history of a group of boys around twenty years old of the suburban district. They stroll for the quarter, look at videos, listen to rock. Nothing happens, but it goes on from everything and they are basically alone in the world. As well as there is another "American dream", there is another “Argentine dream”
An hypnotic musical with ghosts, young skaters, a "cumbiópera" in three acts and an epilogue. A ballet of visages, gazes, desire, love, drama, tragedy and shooting.
Perrone’s devotion to Pasolini has always been very clear. But the explicit homages in P3nd3jo5 and Ragazzi apparently weren’t enough: now a lookalike of the Italian director has turned up in Ituizangó.
A reworking of Waiting for Godot where two losers (Coco and Peluca) are waiting in an amusement park abandoned to a former occasional boss (Godotti) who owes them a small amount of money.
Fixed open shots are the main resources used to follow a love relationship and the many moments when this liaison between two women – 22 and 24 years old – is recomposed.
This night, Ituzaingó, in the outskirts of Buenos Aires, exudes film and theater. Actors, actresses, directors, and producers parade like narcissuses of the underground in a world of jealousy, hypocrisy, idiocy, and so much more.
An enchanted and dangerous jungle. A woman and her husband. A young boy and a teenaged girl who look like brother and sister. Another girl and two men from another time. Gunshots. An escape. A cascade and a storm. Love. Passion. Death.
Some time ago, I decided not to make any more synopsis of my films. I want people to arrive without knowing what they are going to see. There won't be a trailer either; they lie and never really reflect the spirit of the film. Thank you for understanding. RP
Absurd comedy homage to the old television series type "Patrulla de caminos". The protagonists were criminals, three kids who were on the road. But two policemen appear so wonderful that they end up being the protagonists.
An experimental feature shot mostly in the style of an old silent film, it tells the story of a jealous love triangle.
Nominal movie. Description of the world of young people of Ituzaingó, in which they survive and fight without going out of his locality dominated by pizzerias, lounges of pool and low houses.
An old man drivesdriven around town trying to find a wick for his old heater during the long months of the Argentinean winter.
