Ariel Winograd's 'Heist of the Century' film reviewed on Artribune

Ariel Winograd's 2020 Argentine heist film 'La rapina del secolo' (The Heist of the Century) is reviewed on Artribune. The film dramatizes the 2006 robbery of a Banco Río branch in Acassuso, Buenos Aires, orchestrated by a jiu-jitsu master and a small group of robbers. The heist involved toy weapons, hostage-taking, a tunnel, and an escape by rubber boat. Winograd blends genre conventions (tight editing, action soundtrack) with ironic humor and realistic human flaws, casting well-known Argentine actors Guillermo Francella and Diego Peretti. The screenplay was co-written by Alex Zito and Fernando Araujo, the actual heist mastermind. The review praises the film's engaging narrative and its balance of comedy and crime.
