Content:
An homage to both Argentina's gaucho culture and the brutal oaters of Sam Peckinpah and Walter Hill, "Aballay" is raw, surreal and memorable, with such a potent vision that its flaws float away like dust from a horse's hooves. As drama, this broodingly intense, fierce and visually dazzling yarn of a young man seeking revenge for his pappy's death is neither original nor even particularly coherent, but helmer Fernando Spiner brilliantly makes his point about the violence that underpins both Argentinean and American popular culture. Pic deserves fest and offshore play. As a boy, Julian (Matias Mitre) and his father (Lautaro Delgado) are ambushed in their carriage by a gang of gauchos while crossing the desert. While hiding, a terrified Julian looks into the eyes of one of the gang, Aballay (Pablo Cedron), who decides to let him live. Ten years later, Julian (now played by Nazareno Casero), carrying drawings of the murderous gang he sketched from memory, is seeking revenge. In the godforsaken desert town of La Malaria, he befriends local girl Juana (Moro Anghileri). The region lives under the whip of another gang member, the psychopath El Muerto (Claudio Rissi), who at a fiesta one evening announces that he's marrying Juana: To complete the deal, he brands an "M" on her buttocks. (Jonathan Holland, Variety)
