El Jockey – Kill the Jockey
With his absurd tragicomedy about a fallen jockey, Argentine director Luis Ortega once again proves himself a cinematic visionary with a unique style. Remo Manfredini was once a celebrated jockey. But his self-destructive behavior increasingly overshadows his talent and threatens his relationship with his girlfriend Abril. On the day of the most important race of his career—one that could repay his debt to mafia boss Sirena—Remo suffers a serious accident. When he regains consciousness, he disappears from the hospital and wanders the streets of Buenos Aires. Freed from his image and identity, he begins to discover who he truly wants to be. But Sirena is determined to find him—dead or alive.
Luis Ortega (*1980 in Argentina) has been one of the most exciting voices in Argentine cinema since his first two feature films Caja negra (2002) and Monobloc (2005). His serial killer biopic El ángel was Argentina’s Oscar submission in 2019.
