Two Shots Fired
Why this pick

02
The Man Next Door
Why this pick
Its dry, tightly observed social comedy finds escalating absurdity in everyday friction, with a similarly cool, unforced Argentine sensibility.
03
The Delinquents
Why this pick
A deceptively casual premise opens into an unhurried, offbeat Buenos Aires odyssey, attentive to work, friendship, chance, and the strange freedom of detours.
04
A Fantastic Fear of Everything
Why this pick
Its eccentric, deadpan portrait of an artist adrift turns minor anxieties and self-created chaos into character comedy, though with a more stylized visual flourish.
05
The Future
Why this pick
Miranda July’s gently surreal, emotionally off-center Los Angeles tale shares the original’s fascination with stalled adults, odd jobs, and quietly absurd everyday behavior.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
This film follows the crisscrossed fortunes of, among others, a rock musician, a flight attendant, a dog walker with an alarming penchant for over-the-counter medication, and a cab driver, who doesn’t really care about his life spiralling out of control, as long as he can sit in his old Renault 12.
