It is the history of a group of boys around twenty years old of the suburban district. They stroll for the quarter, look at videos, listen to rock. Nothing happens, but it goes on from everything and they are basically alone in the world. As well as there is another "American dream", there is another “Argentine dream”

This night, Ituzaingó, in the outskirts of Buenos Aires, exudes film and theater. Actors, actresses, directors, and producers parade like narcissuses of the underground in a world of jealousy, hypocrisy, idiocy, and so much more.

A reworking of Waiting for Godot where two losers (Coco and Peluca) are waiting in an amusement park abandoned to a former occasional boss (Godotti) who owes them a small amount of money.

Perrone’s devotion to Pasolini has always been very clear. But the explicit homages in P3nd3jo5 and Ragazzi apparently weren’t enough: now a lookalike of the Italian director has turned up in Ituizangó.

In his new cinematic adventure, Raúl Perrone makes a new incursion into the Japanese out of Ituzaingó in order to shape the variations of a story that revolves around a woman who cuts dead people’s hair, a samurai with an intolerable mission, a nosy burglar, a feudal lord on the verge of insanity and a giant metal fish. The film is freely inspired in the original version of Rashomon –written by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa– and, as usual in his filmography since P3ND3JO5 (2013), Perrone blends different elements from classical film; in this case, visible ghosts from Kurosawa’s cinema and certain aspects of Japan’s traditional culture melt with nightmarish distortions and machinistical irruptions, typical of a future that may never come. “The avant-garde is in the past” he once said in an interview. In his reimagining of film history, Perrone again finds an inexhaustible field of expression.

Some time ago, I decided not to make any more synopsis of my films. I want people to arrive without knowing what they are going to see. There won't be a trailer either; they lie and never really reflect the spirit of the film. Thank you for understanding. RP

Raúl Perrone does not usually allow people to register his work. It represents an act of intimacy. However, Martín earns his trust and is allowed to take part in the shooting. Perrone's process of filmmaking becomes a testimony of both his role as a film director and a human being with his lights and shadows.
