Like NUEVE REINAS, DOBLE JUEGO is a Latin American con-man movie (in this case, Peruvian) which slyly comments on local socio-political events via an engaging cinematic genre. 2000 in Lima. As President Fujimori’s government collapses and reports of corruption and bribery fill the airwaves, even everyday Peruvians are enchanted by an expert Spanish swindler claiming to be a Telefonica executive. Convinced he’ll make their dreams come true, they unwittingly aid him in a clever con.
Doble Juego
Directed by Alberto ‘Chicho’ Durant
