- Synopsis
- "Matadero" takes a stark look at a historic tale through the maniacal lens of U.S. filmmaker Jared (Julio Perillán), as he shoots a big-screen adaptation of the 19th-century text by Argentine writer Estaban Echeverría, exploiting the times and their trappings to create a piece of cinema meant to dig itself into the collective consciousness.Taking on social tensions that boil over, Jared’s lofty vision for his version will push the cast and crew to the brink. As his plot advances, ego and deception reign.
