Déficit

About This Movie

Déficit is a curious exploration of privilege and moral decay, set against the backdrop of a lavish party thrown by Cristóbal, the son of a powerful politician. The film juxtaposes his insular world with that of the house gardener, creating a stark contrast that resonates throughout the narrative. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to simmer as the night unfolds, revealing the emptiness behind wealth. It’s not just about the opulence but the shadows lurking within. The performances are grounded, especially as the interactions between the rich and the working class highlight the chasms in society. There's an atmospheric quality to the cinematography that enhances the film’s emotional weight, making it a distinctive piece worth discussing among collectors.
