Overview
- The Mexican drama Moscas, directed by Fernando Eimbcke and co-written with Vanesa Garnica, begins a limited theatrical release in Argentina following its presentation in Berlin's Official Competition.
- Critics singled out María Secco's black-and-white cinematography, Eimbcke's restrained direction and the performances of Teresita Sánchez and Bastian Escobar for giving the film a subtle emotional pull.
- The story follows Olga, an older woman who rents a room to Tulio and unexpectedly forms a bond with his young son Cristian as the family copes with a serious illness.
- Argentine coverage notes the release is modest in scope with screenings at select venues such as Lorca, Cinépolis Recoleta, Atlas Patio Bullrich and Showcase Norcenter.
- The film extends Eimbcke's focus on small, character-driven tales of solitude and economic precarity and may struggle for wider box-office visibility because of its limited rollout and competing cultural events.
