Gunman

2019 · 108 min

A slow, brooding descent into violence and its pull, heavy with fatalism and quiet dread.

Overview
Pistolero is a fiction that in a certain way is an essay on violence. The story follows the criminal raid of Isidoro Mendoza and his brother Claudio in the rural Argentina during Ongania’s dictatorship, and how the violence of his criminal deeds begins to leave a mark in them. A teacher from Buenos Aires arrives to Isidoro’s life, and love is the possibility to open himself to a new life, but even as he tries, he can not escape the entropy generated by his own drives and actions.
