Perdido por perdido

About This Movie

So, 'Perdido por perdido' is this interesting little piece from '93 that dives into the murky waters of desperation and con artistry. You’ve got Darín playing Vidal, a guy backed against the wall, and he hatches this scheme to pull off a fake car heist. It’s got a certain gritty atmosphere, reflecting the tension that builds as Vidal’s plan spirals out of control. The interplay between him and the small-time mobster feels sharp, almost chaotic, especially with Pinti’s rogue investigator lurking around. There’s something captivating about the moral ambiguities presented here and how the stakes keep rising, blending dark humor with a tense narrative. The performances feel raw, adding to that feeling of impending doom and the absurdity of it all.

This film hasn’t seen a wide distribution in various formats, making it a bit of a rarity among collectors. There are a few VHS copies floating around, but finding it in good condition can be tricky. The film’s dark humor and exploration of morality attract a niche audience, and as time goes on, its scarcity can make it an intriguing addition for those who appreciate Argentine cinema from the era.
