Gato negro

Who would have said that Luciano Caceres could play a leading role like this one? He has got the skills, the "physique du role" and the youth, but he had not had the chance to land a part like this one so far. Tito Pereyra (Luciano Caceres) is a man who finds overcoming poverty as hard as overcoming his own growth without a father. His quick but tough way up the social ladder is shown as something that he can't think of without crossing moral boundaries. Gaston Gallo, director and writer of the film, created this character who needs to feel he is in control of everything: his women, his contacts, his acquaintance… Unlike other Argentinian movies, there is a lot of attention given to dialogues and language shades. Eugenia Levin's casting of mostly film- and- theatre actors is an obvious effort to guarantee good performances of characters that although short- lived, are complex and vital to the development of Tito's life. The weakest points? Sound and music, especially in suspense scenes or where the film's own song would have been of good use.
