THE CLAN (El Clan)<\/strong>
\nFox International<\/strong>
\nReviewed by: Harvey Karten for Shockya d-based on Rotten Tomatoes<\/strong>
\nGrade: B+<\/strong>
\nDirector:\u00a0 Pablo Trapero<\/strong>
\nWritten by:\u00a0 Pablo Trapero, Esteban Student<\/strong>
\nCast: Guillermo Francella, Peter Lanzani, Antonia Bengoechea, Gast\u00f3n Cocchiarale, Stefan\u00eda Koessl<\/strong>
\nScreened at: Fox, NYC, 2\/22\/16<\/strong>
\nOpens:\u00a0 March 18, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

This year as in every other, horror films will be introduced to the big screen, each trying to equal or excel the originality and tension of classics like \u201cCarrie\u201d and \u201cThe Exorcist.\u201d\u00a0 \u201cThe Clan\u201d is billed as a biopic, part thriller, part political (though Republican politics can be viewed as horror as it is by some now in the U.S.), but is not being promoted as a horror pic.\u00a0 But what adjective can you use to describe a film that deals with a plain-featured older man who together with his family of wife, three sons and two daughters says prayers before dinner but has manipulated most of them to commit horrendous crimes?\u00a0 Father and sons work together to plan and execute kidnappings, then sink so far in the mud of murderous immorality that they kill their victims even after receiving the ransoms.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Clan,\u201d co-written written and directed by Pablo Trapero whose \u201cWhite Elephant\u201d deals with a priest working in a Buenos Aires slum who finds solace while working with an atheist, is closely inspired by a true story taking place in Argentina during the 1980s when, as a result of a change in government from dictatorship to democracy, Arqu\u00edmedes Puccio (Guillermo Francella) loses his job with his country\u2019s intelligence services.\u00a0 He needs money to support his seven-member family and together with his sons, whom he manipulates into supporting criminal activities, and with the passive acquiescence of his wife, he kidnaps a number of people and demands heavy ransom in American dollars.<\/p>\n

While the paterfamilias remains Trapero\u2019s principal focus, the audience will likely identify most closely with son Alejandro (Alex) Puccio (Peter Lanzani), who comes across as the all-Argentinian boy.\u00a0 He is a star on the rugby field, where his skill at fast running leads to goal after goal as the opposition falls away.\u00a0 He is cheered by all of his teammates and will receive the ardor of beautiful M\u00f3nica (Stefan\u00eda Koessl), whom he meets in the sailing goods store which he manages and which has been set up courtesy of his dad\u2019s money.<\/p>\n

The father, working particular with his favorite boy, Alex, kidnaps Ricardo Manoukian, Alex\u2019s 23-year-old rugby teammate (imagine the horror of taking part in the kidnap-murder of your best friend?), killing him despite receiving a ransom of $250,000.\u00a0 When his family paid out $150,000 to retrieve engineer Eduardo Aulet, they were ripped off as the man\u2019s body was retrieved four years later.\u00a0 When Emilio Naum was kidnapped in 1984, he was killed immediately for violently resisting.<\/p>\n

While Trapero does illustrate graphic violence, even presenting the screams of a 65-year-old victim imprisoned in the family basement as though she were a part of \u201cThe Saw\u201d horror franchise, the major part of the story deals with the father-son relationship, featuring also the love of the old man for the daughter whom he helps daily with homework, enlisting his wife to cook chicken with rice for the victims locked in the basement.\u00a0 Much of the conversation is between Arqu\u00edmedes and the government people who are covering up for him, especially the Commodore, who can no longer guarantee the criminals\u2019 protection.\u00a0 There is considerable confusion during the first twenty minutes as Trapero shows government officials making speeches, with the new incumbent promising a great nation now that the dictatorship is history.<\/p>\n

Some background in Argentine politics can help though is not necessary.\u00a0 Recall that from 1976 to 1983 from 10,000 to 30,000 civilians, generally the leftist opposition, disappeared, the desaparecidos, picked up by the military dictatorship never to be heard from again.\u00a0 It is through the infamous offices of the fascists that Arqu\u00edmedes is able to amass his millions in U.S. currency.\u00a0 Among the witty repartee is one comment by a gang member about the new government.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s a democracy.\u00a0 How long can it last?\u201d<\/p>\n

Arqu\u00edmedes tell us that he would never do anything to harm his own family, though he certainly caused havoc among families of his victims, all of which shows that one can be all too loyal to one\u2019s own and to hell with everyone else.\u00a0 Sebasti\u00e1n Escofet\u2019s\u00a0 music featuring songs in English is stunning, the sound effects particularly clever in juxtaposing cries of sexual ecstasy from Alex\u2019s girlfriend with screams from one of the family\u2019s victims.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Clan\u201d is Argentina\u2019s entry to our Academy Awards but did not get nominated.\u00a0 In Spanish with English subtitles.<\/p>\n

Rated R.\u00a0 110 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong><\/p>\n
