What kind of movies will audiences most want to see as the world emerges from the novel coronavirus pandemic? If thrillers and exotic escape are your buyer's bet — a reasonable guess after populations have spent months cooped up, totally unable to travel — then the Argentinian samurai revenge thriller Dogman could be a bankable project to board early.
Directed by Buenos Aires-based genre specialist Tamae Garateguy, the film follows a young half-Japanese, half Argentinian man named Tupac (played byRoberto "Chichi" Kim Fukaura) who is spared a life of aimlessness by the dawning desire to seek revenge on the Spanish mafia boss — an Almovodar-esque madame named "Mamita" — who murdered his family for protesting the corrupt mining deal she was.
