‘Kill The Jockey’ Review: Argentinian Director Luis Ortega’s Strange, Surreal Gangster Comedy Will Take You For A Ride – Venice Film Festival
'Kill The Jockey' review: Luis Ortega's strange, surreal gangster comedy will take you for a ride – Venice Film Festival
The jockey is Remo Manfredini (Nahuel Pérez Biscayart), a once-famous horse racer, and we find him in a catatonic state in a jaw-droppingly bizarre dive bar frequented by literally legless drinkers. The changing rooms — for men and women alike — almost resemble fetish clubs, while their twerky warm-up routines often come with the pulsing beats of Latin electronica. It’s fun, refreshing, and really quite barking mad, but, free of a true story to work from, Ortega can be a little too self-indulgent if left to his own devices (the press notes for the film come with a pretentious “director’s statement” that would make your eyes glaze over).
