A documentary about emblematic independent filmmaker Raúl Perrone, who lives in the area of greater Buenos Aires mentioned in the title.
Raúl Perrone’s films are as peculiar as they are addictive. Its prolific and heterogeneous body of work, his aesthetics, his austerity, his neighborhood, his skies, his ways, his methods: everything that is Perrone in film is admirable. And in this documentary, Spanish director Patricio Carroggio –a captivated filmmaker making a film about that object that captivates him- dives into the shooting of Poema urgente para una perra hambrienta. And he looks at (and admires) how a grumpy, intolerant, obsessive, funny, unbearable but, above all, masterful director works. Carroggio listens, not much (like Perrone), but he listens, and he makes those who work with the Argentine director tell us things we won’t fully believe, but that, in the end and also during this film, we will find out they were always true, and always will be.
