Kill the Jockey
A highly talented but self-destructive jockey, who is in debt to a gangster, gets an opportunity for reinvention in Luis Ortega’s mischievous and inventive comedy drama starring Nahuel Pérez Biscayart.
One-time champion jockey Remo (Nahuel Pérez Biscayart) has been failing to rein in his bad habits lately, which means he’s struggling at the track as well as being in debt to kingpin Sirena (Daniel Giménez Cacho). His relationship with fellow jockey Abril (Úrsula Corberó) is also under pressure. When an accident leaves him badly injured, Remo wakes from a coma and embarks on a gender-bending journey of repeated reinvention through Buenos Aires, while trying to dodge Sirena. There’s never a dull moment in Luis Ortega’s mischievous mix of thriller, comedy and drama, which also features one of the year’s best dance scenes.
