In the Buenos Aires suburbs of Ituzaingó, two love tales and a mafia story set amongst a group of down-and-out skaters make up a three-act opera—all set to a soundtrack of Colombian cumbia music, Puccini, and everything in between.
Virtuosically shot on a digital camera, Raúl Perrone has called P3ND3JO5 a “cumbia-opera,” but it can also be seen as a B&W skater musical. Like early cinema, this hypnotic film about the beauty and hopelessness of slacker youth finds visual drama in expressive close-ups.
