With a glorious mane of jet black hair and a furious talent for the dazzling footsteps of malambo, teenaged Cabra wants nothing more than to be a professional dancer. Living with his mother and her stern boyfriend in a bordertown slum, Cabra escapes into the world of dance, pummeling the floor and practicing with a vigor and passion in anticipation of a major competition on the horizon. However, when his ex-convict father is released from jail and starts to stir up trouble again, a complex triangle of familial wounds overtakes the narrative, morphing KARNAWAL from a rhythmic portrait of dance into a powerfully realized exploration of the inescapable blood ties that bind us. Capturing the rich regional texture of the northern border of Argentina, the film is an effusive display of athletic prowess, vibrant South American culture, and an ensemble firing on all cylinders—delivering a bold and dynamic coming-of-age dance drama. (In Spanish with subtitles) — R.J.T.
