Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1971. Carlos Robledo Puch is a 19-year-old boy with an angelic face, but a vocational thief as well, who acts ruthlessly, without remorse. When he meets Ramón, they follow together a dark path of crime and death.
Watching 'El Angel' felt like diving into a dark, twisted recipe that's hard to put down. Based on the true story of the young Argentine serial killers, the film balances a shocking narrative with compelling character studies. The cinematography, reminiscent of a moody, atmospheric dish, immerses you in the Buenos Aires of the '70s, making it a rich feast for the senses. The performances were robust, and the direction had a certain spice that kept me intrigued from start to finish. It's not a film for the faint-hearted, but it certainly left an indelible taste.
