'Burnt Money' has the familiar scaffolding of the botched heist but it is really more interested in relationship drama - but on an archetypical, rather than kitchen-sink realism, scale, and all of it done in a languid, elegiac, chiaroscuro, and yet, stiflingly hothouse and tango mood. The cinematography is lush and dark and grimy and gorgeous. And it's clear from the language of the voiceover narration, the characters' nicknames, the religious iconography (especially pietà & crucifix), and that the movie is divided into 'chapters,' that it is also a structured tale, despite its true-crime inspiration. Not a morality tale, more like a ballad... El Nene (the baby) embodies the cool, smart, protective antihero, while Ángel is his naïve, mad-saintly emotional core, and that pairing itself of the Twins also echoes many 'buddy' tropes...
But despite the stylized/symbolic distance, there is so much intimacy in this movie it hurts. The chemistry between the two leads is insanely intense and fragile and beautiful. But not sentimental. Or histrionic. The movie and its emotions are violent and with a certain degree of romanticization but the exchanges between the Twins are so 'real' that it's as if it weren't acting... Sbaraglia especially is good at packing intense love and devotion, frustration, and everything else into a mere look. Kinda makes you wish you were the recipient of that look - or even of the pitying consolation that he gives to Giselle. OMG, the lost years from having known/seen this only recently! OK, enough gushing. It's just hella amazing.

| dazzling! |
Perhaps this is the most unforgettable film I have ever seen;
the performances (most especially by the twins--Noriega/Sbaraglia)
are simply mesmerizing. The story is unusual and beautiful and exciting--
so snatch it!

| Cain and Abel in our time |
I watched this picture over and over, feelig totally moved every time.
The role played by Leonardo Sbaraglia and Eduardo Noriega emphasizes
the contrast between something spiritual and physicalthat all human beings suffer for.
The beautiful image of this picture reminds me of the world of Cain and Abel of the Old Testament reproduced in our time.
