Histoire
Reni, a disaffected singer on the brink of being kicked out of her band, meets Andres, a male prostitute, at an ATM when he picks her pocket. They begin a passionate affair, leading Reni to start working as a prostitute herself to spend more time with Andres. However, their relationship becomes strained when Reni struggles to embrace prostitution like Andres does. The film follows their tumultuous relationship and self-discovery amidst the neon-lit streets of Buenos Aires.
Résumé
'Vagón fumador', directed by Verónica Chen in 2001, is an Argentine drama that explores themes of love, identity, and societal expectations through the lens of a unconventional romance between Reni, a singer, and Andres, a male prostitute. The film is notable for its raw portrayal of sex work and same-sex attraction, as well as its artistic style, featuring slow-motion shots and a dissonant percussive score. Chen's female perspective adds depth to the exploration of these themes in an Argentine context.
