Synopsis
Initially an entry in a screenwriting contest, this debut feature from Fabian Bielinsky is as dextrously assured as David Mamet's con-artist thriller House of Games. The story is set in Argentina and hinges on the meeting of incompetent con Gaston Pauls and experienced swindler Ricardo Darin. Their dubious deal involves a tycoon who's about to be deported and a forged set of priceless stamps (the "nine queens" of the title) that he can therefore carry safely out of the country. The endlessly inventive twists and turns are baffling, but the performances will keep you watching, with Darin outstanding as the small-time operator dripping with seedy charisma. Brisk without being brash, slick but never smug, this deftly handled tale is destined for cult status.
