Writer / director Fabian Bielinsky surprised half the world with this film petty crooks. A well-traveled genre and the film world: The coup, and a long list of films that somehow have influenced this wonderful film. But one of the great successes is that Nine Queens is able to breathe fresh air to the genre.
To begin, a nervous camera and a fresh and dynamic dialogues portray claw and proximity to the world of pickpockets. So the proposal of the director is at the antipodes of mysticism with which Bresson had approached Picpocket this unique world.
The script of the film is a dizzying roller coaster in which there is not a time to blink. In fact witnessing a lengthy prologue that happens in the blink of an eye. It matters little that the prized stamps that give the film its title and articulate the plot, are not named until minute 34.
Everything is perfectly orchestrated to be a function in which each character plays its role to perfection. Even placing obstacles in their own business. So that although there are subtle nods to the spectator, he finds it very difficult to unmask the spectacular farce to the end of the film.
Surprisingly it is a film that perfectly resists multiple viewings. Very welcome in view of the genre in which it moves. Maybe it's because the terrible crisis affecting Argentina at that time is a magnificent backdrop that gives authority to the story. But what really makes it special are the details. No film of this blend contains so many details that give credibility and richness to the film. Have you noticed that at the end of the film, when all team members are gathered, "El Gallego" carries in his suitcase hotel soaps? And of course also due to its excellent performers. Some players like the top of a pine that drop gems like this: "Fucking is not missing, what is lacking are financiers." Chapeau to the late Bielinsky. (Catullus: BFI)
