As a human being, I am as near to carnivorous as it might be possible to be but this movie nearly made me a vegetarian, such was the revulsion that I felt at the sight of all the meat that also has a starring role here. I cannot let this review pass without mentioning the revulsion that I felt in many scenes at what was done in Latuada's several butchers' shops to make rotten meat even slightly presentable to potential customers. As a parable of what amounts to modern-day slavery, it's a great story and I for one can quite understand why the main character Hermogenes ended up killing his boss who'd been abusing he and his wife Gladys for so long. The movie is engaging, very well acted by all of the characters and the script is tight and quite believable, especially since the movie is based on a true story (as so many are these days).

Having said that though, the result that the film-makers achieved here is quite something. There are no details on IMDb about how much this movie actually cost to make but it was obviously pretty low budget. With dreams of a better life, a humble but illiterate labourer and his wife leave their poor village in Santiago to move to Buenos Aires. With Guillermo Pfening, Andrea Garrote, Joaqun Furriel, Gabriel Fernandez. I just loved this movie after not expecting too much from it. The Boss, Anatomy of a Crime: Directed by Sebastin Schindel.
