CHINESE TAKE-OUT (UN CUENTO CHINO)
Written and Directed by Sebastián Borensztein
Produced by Pablo Bossi, Juan Pablo Buscarini, Gerardo Herrero, Axel Kuschevatzky, and Ben Odell
Winner of Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Film at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences of Argentina.
Presented as part of Contemporary South American Cinema, a 3-day V&V showcase of recent films from across the continent.
Curmudgeon Roberto (Ricardo Darin from THE SECRET IN THEIR EYES) is shaken out of his solitary daily routine of collecting absurd newspaper clippings and visiting his parents’ grave when Chinese immigrant Jun (Huang Sheng Huang) literally falls into his life out of the back of a cab. Through a series of events that go against Roberto’s better judgment, the out-of-work Jun moves in with him, which proves a nightmare for Roberto as he makes increasingly desperate (and hilarious) attempts to get rid of his new roommate. Sebastian Borensztein’s warm, endearing third feature offers a heartfelt and funny reminder that friendship can crop up between the most strange, mismatched and plain old grumpy of odd couples. With Muriel Santa Anna.
