In the mid-70s, a stranger arrives in a quiet provincial town. In a restaurant, for no apparent reason, he sets about attacking Claudio, a well-known lawyer. The community supports the lawyer, humiliates the stranger and throws him out. Later, on the way home, Claudio and his wife Susana are once again intercepted by the stranger, who is determined to wreak his terrible revenge on Claudio. The lawyer embarks on a road of no-return, of death, secrets and silences. (San Sebastian International Film Festival)

Watching Rojo could present problems for Czech audiences unfamiliar with Argentine national history just as if an Argentine audience were unfamiliar with the history of Czechoslovakia while watching Cosy Dens. In the case of Rojo, however, it is even more complicated, because it is a drama/thriller based on insinuations, winks, and metaphors foreshadowing the coming (American-backed) military coup d'état in a country where thousands of people disappeared (there are so many allusions to this in the movie that the name could have been "Disappearing People," but that would have been like a punch in the face), and which was a kind of a dark time for the Argentine people. For some, the movie may not be very clear, for others, on the contrary, it will make complete sense, I especially enjoyed Rojo thanks to the great performance of Dario Grandinetti. This is an unconventional and disturbing drama. [KVIFF 2019]
