"The least known and most traumatic event of the past two years has been the collapse of the Argentine economy and the impoverishment of Argentines. Angus Macqueen's film isn't really a report. It looks at the statistics of woe through the eyes of Argentines as they struggle on. He hangs out with the makers of a TV show in which the audience get to vote on which of the contestants gets a job. He follows a woman from one cash machine to another as she tries to salvage some of her lost savings. What I like about the film is how recognisable everything appears to be, and how alien.
