A thriller centered on a man who is accused of a crime he didn't commit.

查比罗自资拍摄，自编自导的首作是个奇迹，没有人会想到一部其貌不扬（包括他的演员）、制作成本简陋（16厘米的黑白摄影）的影片会是一部如斯动人的佳作。电影主角拉路是个频常失业的地盘工人，五十出头，依然过着餐找（wen，无粤语输入，用找代替，见谅）餐食的蹉跎生活，还要照顾他那寄生虫般的儿子。查比罗细致的场面调度来自深沉的对比：沉默与争吵、日与夜、温暖的人性氛围与顽强的机械世界。《半天吊》写活一个过了造梦之龄仍对生命怀抱梦想的人，对贫穷文化及其中的父子关系设下最难言的关注及最温柔的目光。本片为阿根廷新电影最受称誉之作，获二十多个不同影展奖项。

部分获奖记录：
阿根廷独立电影节最佳导演、最佳男演员、人道奖三项大奖
弗莱堡电影节影评人奖，人道奖等四项大奖
哈瓦那电影节评委金奖
鹿特丹电影节金虎奖，影评人奖
威尼斯国际电影节反潮流奖，CULT网络奖等。

男同片，黑白片，独立片，走的是小津路线，对白很少，镜头移动缓慢，安静的节奏，获柏林电影节泰迪奖。如果喜欢这种风格的话，可推荐看看另一位阿根廷新锐导演Lisandro Alonso的作品，尤其是《自由》（2001）。MY RATING 4/5

Set on a remote island in northeastern Argentina, this artfully shot debut feature simmers with sexual tension. Alvaro is a quiet man who repairs books and harvests reeds. Doubly isolated by his remote home and his homosexuality, he lives simply and doesn't talk much, resorting to hook-ups with outsiders for release.
On the more garrulous side of the spectrum is Turu, who pilots the water taxi nicknamed La León because of the sound its engine makes chugging up the river. Turu fancies himself a community leader of sorts because his boat ferries the local population whenever they need to go to town. He's also a loudmouth and a brute, ranting against missionaries, immigrants from Paraguay who've come to work, and Alvaro for being gay. Like most bigots, the captain has some unresolved issues and is alternately fascinated and repelled by the handsome man he transports.
To frame the story, Otheguy employs a wonderfully textured black-and-white cinematography with the jungle at center stage. Whether providing Alvaro with cover for a nighttime tryst or drowning out the noise of a more brutal encounter with its own natural clamor, the environment is a keen, impartial observer of the human drama unfolding in its midst. Placed among other recent noteworthy examples of Latin American art cinema including Los Muertos and A Thousand Clouds of Peace, La León heralds the arrival of a new cinematic talent.

In the Brazilian countryside, a family straining to care for their bedridden patriarch have their lives changed when a shady nurse offers a diabolical deal: put their elder to rest and host an Argentinian drug kingpin who urgently needs a place to hide.

An architecture student is obsessed by his girlfriend. When she is invited to go alone to a party sponsored by her company, he becomes paranoid. He arrives at their place unexpectedly and finds a man hidden under their bed. He follows the man trying to find his name and occupation, along a night full of incidents and misunderstandings.
