Argentina, the late 1970s. Private banker Yvan (Fabrizio Rongione, Two Days, One Night) arrives from Geneva with his wife Ines (Stéphanie Cléau) to replace a colleague who has mysteriously disappeared in military-ruled Buenos Aires. Moving through the smoke-filled lounges and lush gardens of a society under intense surveillance, he finds himself untangling a sinister web of colonialism, high finance, and a nation's “Dirty War”. In his remarkably assured debut, Swiss director Andreas Fontana invites us into this seductive, moneyed world where political violence simmers just under the surface. Co-written by Argentinian filmmaker Mariano Llinás (La Flor), Azor (a highlight from this year’s Berlinale and New Directors/New Films) is a riveting look at international intrigue worthy of John le Carré or Graham Greene.
