The Bottom of the Sea
aka El fondo del mar
First screened in April 2014
Director: Damián Szifron. Cast: Daniel Hendler, Dolores Fonzi, Gustavo Garzón, Rafael Filippelli, Ramiro Agüero, Daniel Valenzuela, Ignacio Mendi, José Palomino Cortez, Jimena La Torre, Jorge D'Elía, Humberto Serrano, Diego Peretti, Alejandro Fiore. Screenplay: Damián Szifron.

Twitter Capsule: An early effort, but winningly balances obsessive mystery and droll character study. Noir for needy klutzes?

VOR:   Rewarding apprentice project, if admittedly slight; I'm rooting for Szifron's peculiar feel for editing and tone. He may well have a Pulp Fiction in him.
