4x4
Directed by Mariano Cohn1h 27m2019
Buenos Aires, Argentina. A luxurious van is parked on the sidewalk. A man enters with the purpose of stealing whatever he can find, but when he wants to leave, he cannot. The doors do not open, the control panel does not respond: the van has become an armored box and he is trapped like a mouse.
Our read: 4x4 (2019) reads as a heavy, steady, inventive thriller entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
Heavy, steady, measured thriller, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, cold.
