http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/1114/furtivobk6.jpgA nice small Argentine film about a 23 year-old lost in the big city in the middle of the financial crisis, unable to get to home base with his girlfriend and about to lose his best friend who is emigrating to Italy.  This film by Nicolás Tannchen is no classic but he does do several things well.  He gets inside the head of typical Argentines and recreates their mindset of having the dreams but always being impeded from getting them by some ‘outside’ force.  Even his female characters which have less to do are believable. http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/8837/furtivo2cr4.jpg Pablo G. Pérez does a good job in the lead role and Marco de Bellis in a supporting roles livens up the screen when he is on.  Pleasant viewing.
