But Argenshow proves a front for pernicious political axes conniving for influence in the region. A 1980s-set political drama, it turns on two brothers, a magician and clown, offered a contract by Argenshow, an entertainment company, to tour Central America with their circus.
co-production, Esteban Puenzo’s debut feature, “Argenshow,” is scheduled to shoot late 2017 in Central America and Miami. “I want to narrate in a microscopic manner how someone can fall in love with a person although they sense they’re dangerous,” Lucia Puenzo commented, for example, about “Bluebeard.” That said, one question in artistic terms, is whether the Puenzos, 35 years on, are continuing, though now on a far broader canvas, the family enterprise embodied by Puenzo’s “The Official Story”: Peeling back conventional wisdom and establishment verities to expose more complex, disquieting truths – in history, sexuality, psychology, or government and big company machination.

Major movie directors are ramping up animated features, Walter Salles is producing “Noah’s Ark,” for instance.

Filmmakers are pushing into TV drama creation – Lucia and Nicolas Puenzo already co-wrote and directed “Cromo,” an eco thriller that world premiered at Toronto’s Prime Time section last year.
Projects underscore the energetic diversification in Latin American fiction. Others take place in New York (hybrid feature “The Last Wish”), a pointedly modern-day Paris of haute culture (“Bluebeard”), or range over much of Latin America (Esteban Puenzo’s “Argenshow,” Nicolas Puenzo’s “The Unseen”), or between Spain and Argentina – Luis Puenzo’s “La Quinta Esencia” (The Soul) – or the furthest realms of outer space (“Voyage To the One”). Only one of the lineup’s narratives is set entirely in Argentina: necessarily “El Bombardeo,” which took place there. However ranging, the slate still says much about the Puenzos, their MO and the growing empowerment of Latin America fiction. Slate takes in Lucia Puenzo’s French-language debut “Bluebeard,” brothers Esteban and Nicolas Puenzo’s feature debuts, two movie projects from Luis Puenzo – one a animated-live action feature, another a historical epic – and two potentially notable TV drama series.
