The Carnival
Alternative title: Gualeguaychú: El país del carnaval

Directed by Marco Berger

The Carnival is depicted with the picturesque precision and vitality. The film shows not the parade itself, but the preparation for it, the expectations, the last hours before the event, when the bodies are transformed. The film turns the eve of the happening into a source of mystery and visual excitement.
The Carnival is a compact Marco Berger drama built around bodies, glances and the charged ambiguity of male friendship. As usual, Berger is more interested in what is not said than what is, creating tension from proximity and performance rather than conventional plot.
