I love Argentine noir, just didn't assign them... but Ricardo Darín alone has 5 or 6 great ones, there's also awesome classics like Bitter Stems & Rosaura at 10 O'Clock, plus modern queer stuff like Fish Child, Death in Buenos Aires, & Burnt Money, so its absence reflects only on me, not Argentina.
