Tossup

A broken typewriter in this film forces the protagonist to repeatedly pencil in the letter “A” when writing. A Bolivian immigrant working as a construction worker is tortured into making a false confession at the beginning of this film. Several downturned photo frames in this film cause the protagonist to realize his friend has sacrificed himself by taking his place when a group of hitmen break into the protagonist’s home. An uninterrupted shot in this (15[1])film begins in the skies above a (*) stadium before the camera (10[1])plunges into the crowd, follows a chase throughout the facility, and ends with an arrest on the field. At the end of this film, the protagonist discovers that Ricardo has kidnapped and kept Gomez imprisoned for 25 years to avenge the (-5[1])murder of his wife. The presidency of Isabel Perón provides the backdrop for much of, for 10 points, what Argentinian thriller about a homicide (10[1])investigation? ■END■
