"The Delinquents: A Riveting Cannes-Winning Heist Film Review"

Argentine director Rodrigo Moreno's film "The Delinquents" is a heist movie with a twist, as the two main characters rob a bank not for wealth, but to escape the demands of modern life. The film explores the pursuit of freedom and the possibility of a new world, shedding its genre trappings to delve into languorous rhythms. As the characters wait and bide their time, they discover the challenges and limitations of their quest for liberty. Clocking in at 183 minutes, "The Delinquents" takes detours both narratively and formally, immersing viewers in a world that feels distant and strange.
