Second Death, The (2012) d. Calvete, Santiago Fernandez (Argentina)
A haunting and inexplicable series of deaths shatter a small town’s tranquil day-to-day existence, leaving taciturn police officer Agustina Lecouna saddled with the unenviable task of resolving a mystery that points an accusatory finger skyward. In realizing his own script, Calvete collaborates with cinematographer Dario Sabina to create a world leached of color and life, its inhabitants pale imitations of their healthy selves; this is a town nearly drained, where people mimic the motions and habits of relationships without ever connecting.
