★★★★ You have already seen “The Robbery of the Century”, Ariel Winograd’s film about the coup against the Banco Río de Acassusso branch in 2006, that of “without weapons and without grudges, it’s just money and not love”. That film tells in a comedic tone what was something spectacular, worth telling. The Netflix documentary interviews the four thieves, the mastermind, the executor, the lumpen, the “engineer,” and the police officers who handled the case. So far it would be just another documentary, and to a certain extent it is. But in another, no. Gueilburt’s intention to transform the story into a kind of pop object, where the staging and design is responsible for giving the words another dimension. He doesn’t always make it, but when he does he’s original. Because that robbery is, in fact, an “intangible” pop object. There is no lack of humor and drama, and the final feeling is that of being accomplices in a giant mischief.
