About This Movie

Erdosain is a unique piece, rooted in the chaotic world of Roberto Arlt's writing. It takes the essence of 'Los siete locos y los lanzallamas' and distills it into a film that breathes the same restless energy. The pacing is intriguing—slow burns mixed with frantic bursts that mirror the characters' turmoil. There's a grim atmosphere throughout, enhanced by practical effects that ground the more surreal elements. The performances have a raw intensity that really capture the essence of Arlt's vision. You can feel the weight of existential dread lingering in every frame, which makes it stand out amidst typical dramas. It’s definitely one of those films that invites deeper contemplation about madness and society.
