Rapado
Sounds Like Music: The Films of Martín Rejtman
May 13 - 19, 2015
The debut feature by Rejtman, which helped launch a new wave of Argentine filmmakers, is a perfect introduction to the director’s droll, shaggy-dog comic sensibility—and one of the great modern cinematic studies of youthful aimlessness.
The scenario for Rejtman’s thrilling, deadpan first feature came from a story included in one of the director’s own short fiction collections, written during his two-year stint studying film at NYU. After the theft of his motorcycle, Lucio (Ezequiel Cavia) bums aimlessly around Buenos Aires drifting from one video-game arcade and record store to the next, indulging in short chats with friends and, more often, setting out onto the streets alone. A perfect introduction to Rejtman’s droll, shaggy-dog comic sensibility, Rapado is also one of the great modern cinematic studies of youthful aimlessness, and a priceless time capsule of urban Argentina in the years leading up to the country’s 1998 economic crisis.
