Ni vivo, ni muerto

About This Movie

Ni vivo, ni muerto really dives into the psychological turmoil during Argentina's dark days of state terrorism. The pacing is quite deliberate, building tension as we follow Alcides who is caught between hope and despair. The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating, reflecting the fear of that era. The performances have this rawness, especially Alcides, who embodies the trauma and desperation. The practical effects are minimal but effective, enhancing the realism without overshadowing the storytelling. It’s a film that doesn't shy away from the grim realities but also explores the complexities of human connection amidst chaos. Definitely lingers in your mind long after the credits roll.
