with ' ' nine queens , ' ' which opens in new york on april 19 , mr . bielinsky has engaged in a similar process of deception . on the surface , his film is a crime yarn , portraying 30 hours in the lives of a pair of swindlers who stumble onto the deal of a lifetime : selling a forged set of rare weimar republic stamps known as ' ' the nine queens ' ' for nearly $ 500 , 000 .

such an opportunity presents itself when marcos stumbles into a chance to fence the nine queens , a famous sheet of nine defectively printed stamps from weimar germany . more specifically , what marcos can peddle are expert forgeries of the set , and he finds his perfect sucker in gandolfo ( ignasi abadal ) , a wealthy businessman and stamp collector ; because he’s to be extradited to venezuela the next day , gandolfo will have no time to submit the forgeries to expert analysis and will probably jump at the chance to take the queens with him .

it all starts , then , with a courting dance between old - timer and apprentice , and between bielinsky and viewer : are you in or are you out ? then nine queens raises the stakes . marcos is offered a slice of a fail - safe plan to sell gandolfo a set of forged weimar stamps , the

of the title . but wild factors keep creeping in to make the game more complicated – more and more outsiders to be cut in , marcos ' s beautiful and ferociously straight - edged sister valeria ( leticia bredice ) , and a sudden twist that sends the film off on a brief , breakneck chase sequence .
from the moment it was first shown in theaters here , ' ' nine queens , ' ' a modest caper film by fabian bielinsky , was a commercial and critical success . but one scene so unnverved argentine audiences that the film has become a cultural phenomenon , dissected and analyzed countless times in newspapers and on radio and television .
for his part , mr . bielensky has received proposals to remake ' ' nine queens ' ' in countries as diverse as the united states , france , germany , england and spain . he will probably sell the rights , he said , but made it clear that he does not want to get involved with any remakes himself .

mr . pauls also said ' ' there is a lot of david mamet in this movie . ' ' but richard peña , program director of the film society of lincoln center , which showed ' ' nine queens ' ' in its new directors / new films series last year , noted that for all its awareness and embrace of international influences , the movie retains a distinctly argentine sensibility .
but you can train yourself to disdain “the king of queens . ” determined viewers have had nearly nine seasons , and a campaign of rerun - saturation so thorough that you might begin to suspect a state sponsor , to muster complaints . they have come up with two . unable to say it’s not funny , detractors say “the king of queens” is unconvincing . slim , go - getter secretaries like carrie ( leah remini ) don’t marry lugs who drive trucks like doug ( kevin james ) , do they ? others don’t buy jerry stiller as carrie’s dad . he’s always george’s dad of “seinfeld” to them .
mr . bielinsky , 43 , also had to battle what was seen as a lack of experience . though he had written the screenplays for several feature films , directed short films based on stories by the argentine writers jorge luis borges and julio cortázar and worked as an assistant director on some 400 commercials and several full - length films , ' ' nine queens ' ' is his debut as a director .
' ' ' nine queens ' is an excellent cinematic example of a certain river plate tradition of paranoid narratives , of which borges is just one example , ' ' he said . ' ' a society looks normal on the surface but is run by corrupt secret societies and secret deals , with a conspiratorial atmosphere that leads you to ask who is real and who is just playing a role .

released in 2000 , ' ' nine queens ' ' won just about every award for which it was eligible , from the argentine film critics association ( best picture and six other prizes ) and at the mtv latin america people ' s choice awards . to mr . darín , that response confirmed the wisdom of mr . bielinsky ' s decision to focus on plot and character and leave any moral lessons implicit .
s called the nine queens is revealed . the camera zooms out and we see berta , vidal gandolfo , sandler and the stamp expert ( among others ) . it is explained that someone on the inside told juan about the imminent closure of the bank and the whole scheme was devised around this . juan walks over to a couch where valeria ( holding a bag full of money ) is relaxing and the two embrace .
yet ' ' nine queens ' ' has a subtext that has encouraged argentines to see it as an allegory for the entire get - rich - quick mentality that prevailed here during the decade from 1989 to 1999 , when carlos saúl menem was president . those years of ' ' pizza and champagne ' ' are now over , but they left a legacy of spiritual and material impoverishment that mr . bielinsky found hard to ignore .
nine queens
is the story of two small - time swindlers , juan ( gastón pauls ) and marcos ( ricardo darín ) , who team up after meeting in a convenience store and become involved in a half million - dollar deal . as the deceptions and duplicity mount , it becomes more and more difficult to figure out who is conning whom , and we begin to ask ourselves ,
who isn ' t a thief ?
so is soderbergh gonna do something original ever again ? what really bothers me is that we ' re getting remakes of foreign films only a few years after the original . insomnia was released in ' 97 - remake in 2002 . open your eyes was released in ' 97 - remake ( vanilla sky ) in 2001 . and now nine queens ? there ' s probably more , but these are the ones that come to mind right now .
george clooney and steven soberbergh are to collaborate on an american remake of the argentinian thriller nine queens . soderbergh is co - scripting the movie , which he will then produce alongside clooney . the film will mark the directorial debut of soderbergh ' s regular assistant director gregory jacobs .
for years george and i have been trying to find a project for greg to direct ,
soderbergh explains .
we all feel this material hits the bull ' s eye : a street - level , contemporary crime thriller with brilliant plotting and complex characters .
the original nine queens , written and directed by fabian bielinsky , spun a fiendish , hall - of - mirrors tale of two conmen making their way through a buenos aires teetering on the brink of financial meltdown . the film was a huge hit in its homeland and performed well in limited runs in both britain and the us last year .
' ' the idea of sudden wealth has always been incorporated into the psychology of the argentine , but during the 1990 ' s it reached obscene levels and reached into the highest spheres of politics and government , ' ' he said . ' ' we were forced to be witnesses to impunity and corruption , indifference to the common welfare and absolute frivolity , so of course a movie like ' nine queens ' reflects that state of affairs . ' '
now before you think i ' ve given away the game with all those
seeminglys ,
let me point out that they may only seemingly be seeminglys . they may in fact be as they seem . or seemingly otherwise . as juan and marcos try to work out their scheme , which involves counterfeit stamps , we wonder if in fact the whole game may be a pigeon drop with juan as the pigeon . but , no , the fake stamps are stolen , seemingly by complete strangers , requiring marcos and juan to try to con the owner of the real nine queens out of stamps they can sell gandolfo . ( since they have no plans to really pay for these stamps , their profit would be the same in either case . ) and on and on , around and around , in an elegant and sly deadpan comedy . a plot , however clever , is only the clockwork ; what matters is what kind of time a movie tells .
nine queens
is blessed with a gallery of well - drawn character roles , including the alcoholic mark and his two bodyguards ; the avaricious widow who owns the
nine queens
and her much younger bleached - blond boyfriend , and valeria the sister , who opposes marcos ' seamy friends and life of crime but might be willing to sleep with gandolfo if she can share in the spoils .

fabián bielinsky greets me with a warm and hearty handshake . at once relaxed and fervent , he ' s clearly pleased that his first feature film , nine queens ( nueve reinas ) has won fans on the international film festival circuit , not to mention winning seven 2001 argentinean film critics association awards , out of ten nominations , as well as the people ' s choice award from mtv argentina and the audience award and best director award at the lleida latin - american film festival .
“the king of queens , ” the longest - running live - action comedy currently on television , is the opposite of an acquired taste . like pizza or the doors , the show just hits the spot — the simple , happy sitcom spot .
note :
nine queens
is like a south american version of
stolen summer ,
the movie that won the contest sponsored by hbo , miramax , and matt damon and ben affleck . according to variety , some 350 screenplays were submitted in an argentine competition , bielinsky ' s won , and he was given funds to film . it ' s illuminating that in both cases such competitions yielded more literate and interesting screenplays than the studios are usually able to find through their own best efforts .
just this week we got a preview of julia robert’s take on juan josé campanella’s academy award - winning el secreto de sus ojos ( the secret in their eyes ) , which without the whole dirty war / military junta subtext becomes a kind of creepy film about vigilante justice . but even before el secreto became an international hit there was 2000’s nueve reinas ( nine queens ) , writer - director fabián bielinksy’s loop - de - loop low budget crime caper that unexpectedly turned into a global film phenomenon .
david mamet might kill for a script as good as the one that fuels “nine queens . ” a seductively structured and superbly acted suspenser that breathtakingly piles swindle upon scam without giving away the game until the very end , fabien bielinsky’s debut feature has been the biggest smash in its native argentina in at least a decade . with a strong push from sony classics , there is no reason this utterly accessible genre - and - character piece shouldn’t become a must - see for the “memento” and “amores perros” constituencies stateside .
' ' to my surprise , though , my principal source of information turned out to be people who had been victimized themselves by scam artists , ' ' he said . ' ' friends , relatives , friends of friends , all of them had stories to tell me about being ripped off themselves or knowing someone who was . as a result , every one of the scams you see in the movie is taken from real life , with the exception of the nine queens , which i invented myself . ' '
the 2014 grammys closed on gloriously weird note , thanks to a unique collaboration of nine inch nails , queens of the stone age , dave grohl and fleetwood mac’s lindsey buckingham . the supergroup kicked things off with their take on nine inch nails’ “copy of a , ” of the group’s hesitation marks lp , beefed up with bubbling bluegrass guitar line and flashing psychedelic lights . if someone were to isolate the tracks of the song , it might sound like pretentious noodling – a little edm flourish there , some jangly country guitar there , some muppet - like drum crushing from grohl and a whole lot of sweet vocal harmonies . but together , it made for a sound that was far trippier than the lighting rig but also something that was more than the sum of its parts .
after the disintegration of the argentine economy in december , in fact , ' ' nine queens ' ' seems almost prophetic . but the underlying idea for the movie , mr . bielinsky said , ' ' emerged from my own fascination with the psychology of crime . ' ' researching the subject , he not only read newspaper articles and interviewed police officers , but also watched american movies about con artists , like ' ' paper moon ' ' and ' ' the sting , ' ' and the films of alfred hitchcock .
nine queens
becomes a shell game that requires close attention to figure out who is screwing whom . this is the major problem with the story as , if you stop paying attention for a moment , you lose the thread of what ' s going on . characters are brought in to the story to propel things along and statements about argentine society - who isn ' t a thief in that country - are made repeatedly . by the end of the film , as things wrap up neatly , i was glad that everything gets explained .
talented argentine director fabian bielinsky made just two films before his untimely death in 2006 and his first , “nine queens” , is now considered a classic in his native country . a naive young wannabe grifter , juan ( gaston pauls ) , attaches himself to the older and more experienced con artist marcos ( ricardo dario ) for 24 hours to learn the tricks of the trade after a botched scam at a convenience store . marcos shows him how to improvise and create scenes at newsagents and restaurants in order to get what he wants while paying as little as possible .
inside , though , that first conviction doesn’t go away . “the king of queens , ” which ends this season , now that mr . james is turning to other pursuits , is funny . it’s brisk , perceptive and unpretentious . it works . see for yourself tonight on cbs .
people complain when hollywood remakes classics like
the manchurian candidate .
but the most nonsensical remake might be
criminal ,
based on the stellar argentine crime caper
nine queens ,
a critical smash and a modest box office hit in the united states . the inferior american version strips the menace and texture from the original without offering any big stars to compensate . and it ' s not as if the movie is being introduced to a different generation , since the original came out in 2002 . so why the remake ? a lack of subtitles isn ' t a good enough reason .
when juan ( gaston pauls ) pulls off a bill changing scam with a convenience store cashier , he ' s emboldened to try it again right after a shift change and is challenged . stranger marcos ( ricardo darin ) comes to his rescue , introduces himself as a fellow , more experienced con artist , and asks juan to become his partner . no sooner do the duo work their first job together than a phone call from marcos ' sister valeria ( leticia bredice ) results in a potential half million score - the sale of a counterfeit stamp rarity , a weimar sheet misprint known as the
nine queens .
criminal
does boast an impressive trio of actors in john c . reilly , diego luna and maggie gyllenhaal . they are always engaging , even if sometimes for the wrong reasons . the problems lie not with the actors but with a glib approach that exposes the flaws of the original story . the screenplay , updated by director gregory jacobs and sam lowry ( a steven soderbergh pen name ) , stabs at
ocean ' s 11
breeziness and falters .
nine queens
contained the same faulty premise and flimsy setups but sold them with its taut intensity and a lead criminal who was a truly bad cat .

“the king of queens” may no longer exemplify a cultural trend . but people watch it . according to cbs , 8 . 7 million viewers tune in each week . after tonight’s episode , the series goes on hiatus until april 9 ; it’s expected to do as well or better for its seven valedictory episodes .
nine queens
characters are engaging and occasionally amusing , but director bielinsky never rises above simply putting them through their paces . he doesn ' t achieve the liftoff the film needs to sparkle , instead letting a leaden monotony set in . the film is goosed up with the introduction of sandler ' s wealthy sister - in - law , who lives in a garish apartment with a younger boy toy , but this lively and amusing character makes too hasty an exit . the multi - layered con ' s final moves become labored by an unconvincing promise between valeria and marcos involving their younger brother ' s faith in his unsavory sibling .
nine queens is a movie about the con - game . marcos finds juan at a gas station using childish
tricks
to cheat some money from the cashier and decides to help him out of the situation and take him under as his con man protege . juan is trying to raise / steal $ 50 , 000 to help his dad get out of jail by paying off a judge . that same day , a deal of a lifetime comes along dealing with a famous stamp called
nine queens
. they find out a rich stamp collector , vidal gandolfo , who will soon be leaving the country and won ' t have time to check it ' s authenticity so they decide to make a fake one and sell it to him . the fake ones get ruined so they have to go in and purchase the actual stamps for $ 250 , 000 which $ 50 , 000 was juan ' s money and the remaining marcos ' . the deal goes down at a hotel where marcos ' sister valerie works . vidal wants her to deliver them and also sleep with him . the entire time the plot keeps twisting , showing both con men having the upper hand at different times and trying to cheat one another . who will take the money and win the game ?
of course marcos is only seemingly a cop . he lectures juan on the dangers of excessive greed and buys him breakfast , and then the two of them seemingly happen upon an opportunity to pull a big swindle involving the
nine queens ,
a rare sheet of stamps . this happens when valeria ( leticia bredice ) , seemingly marcos ' sister , berates him because one of his old criminal associates tried to con a client in the hotel where she seemingly works . the old con seemingly had a heart attack , and now the field is seemingly open for marcos and juan to bilk the seemingly rich and drunk gandolfo ( ignasi abadal ) .
nine queens proceeds in a series of knight ' s moves – you can follow every oblique shift , but you can ' t predict the final pattern . the outcome , in fact , is very much to do with argentina ' s current woes . nine queens is a product of that country ' s recent film - making resurgence , which also produced lucrecia martel ' s la cienaga , and which the country ' s economic collapse has probably scuppered . it ' s hard not to see bielinsky ' s film as a prediction of catastrophe : it could certainly be read as a portrait of a nation where desperate players , at every level of society , are on the make and out of their depth . every cheap chiseller in the film protests that he ' s not a crook , but the crime isn ' t just at street level : the businessman says ,
i ' ll be sad to leave this country – i ' ve never seen such good will for doing business .
this satirical streak no doubt helped make the film a hit in argentina , but i hardly think bielinsky is depicting his nation as unique in its corruption and venality . if this superbly entertaining film gets remade in the enron / worldcom - era us , don ' t be at all surprised .
nine queens
is a neatly handled who ' s - doing - whom story that holds strong ties to such grifter films as
the sting
and david mamet ' s
house of games .
but , this argentine crime thriller is long on dialogue and short on action . things begin slowly and steadily as juan pulls a bill changing scam at a local convenience store . he gets greedy as he watches the shift change and decides to double dip and pull the same scam again , minutes later . he is caught at his ploy and , suddenly , a plainclothes cop is hustling him out of the store , arrested for his crime .
hollywood ( variety ) - the argentine thriller
nine queens
is being turned into an english - language picture by steven soderbergh ( news ) and george clooney ( news ) , who hit the jackpot in 2001 with their remake of
ocean ' s 11 .
queens
follows a day in the life of two con artists . it swept the 2001 argentine film assn . awards , including best picture . sony pictures classics released the film in the united states last spring . soderbergh and clooney will produce the remake through their section eight prods . banner , which is based at warner bros . soderbergh ' s longtime first assistant director , gregory jacobs , will make his directorial debut and co - write the script with soderbergh .
for years , george and i have been trying to find a project for greg to direct , and we all feel this material hits the bull ' s eye : a street - level contemporary crime film with brilliant plotting and complex characters ,
soderbergh said .
premiering in september 1996 , everybody loves raymond starred romano as a father and husband whose parents live next door . his offbeat domestic observations struck a chord with both audiences and critics , earning him an emmy for best actor in a comedy series in 2002 and the series an emmy for best comedy in 2003 . the show ended in may 2005 after nine seasons .
raising the temperature comprises nine artists working in various media who search for a new vantage on this urgent and critical subject . the perspective is aesthetic , not aggressively political . scientific alarms have been filtered through artistic sensibilities . the works presented here comment on our changing relationship to the world we inhabit , or discuss the conditions and consequences of our urban life and its toll on the planet .
but reilly and luna have some fun with the con men ' s getting - to - know - you period . rodrigo bets richard he can get a woman ' s purse in a few minutes , then stages an elevator mishap . in helping a woman to safety , he says he will hold her purse for her . he doesn ' t steal the purse , just gets his hands on it - - the point of the bet . other moments , plausible and tense in
nine queens ,
are made ridiculous by this movie ' s more lighthearted approach . when richard enlists a cop friend to pretend to harass him to impress a mark , the cop ' s
performance
is so broad that you half expect him to start stripping , bachelorette - party style .
two grifters - boyish , likable juan and hard - edged , scheming marcos - meet by chance . marcos , who seems to have cheated everyone he knows including his siblings , is missing his partner , so he offers to teach juan tricks for a day . juan accepts because he has some savings , but needs more to bribe a judge to release his father from prison . marcos gets a call from an aging , ill ex - associate needing help to sell a forged set of rare stamps , the nine queens , to a businessman about to be deported ( he can ' t take cash out of argentina , but could take the stamps ) . when the con men have to improvise , marcos asks juan to use his savings to set up the deal . is juan about to be conned ?
but , things are not what they seem and the
cop
turns out to be a fellow con man , marcos , who propositions the young scam artist to team up and make some real money . juan reluctantly agrees and marcos introduces a plan to con a big time hood who is only hours away from being deported . marcos knows a guy , an old time forger , sandler ( oscar nunez ) , who has in his possession a set of counterfeit stamps called the nine queens . the duplicates are so good that only close scrutiny would reveal them as fakes . this fact , and because the gangster , vidal gandolfo ( ignasi abadal ) , is about to be shipped out of argentina , cause marcos to bring juan in on the scam that could net them a cool half million dollars .
then the plot thickens as they get a proposition from an old man , a scam expert himself . he had made a perfect replica of the nine queens , a sheet of uncut , imperfect stamps in mint condition . his plan was to sell the stamps to an avid collector . he wanted to sell the stamps now because since the collector was being deported from the country in a day , he wouldn’t have time to have the stamps thoroughly checked . however , the old man gets sick and entrusts the task to marcos , and since juan happens to be with him , he will be coming along for the ride too . marcos , being the opportunist that he is , ends up making the deal that he will get 90 % of the profit , while the forged stamps’ creator will only get 10 % .
fabian bielinsky ' s
nine queens
is a con within a con within a con . there comes a time when we think we ' ve gotten to the bottom , and then the floor gets pulled out again and we fall another level . since nothing is as it seems ( it doesn ' t even seem as it seems ) , watching the film is like observing a chess game in which all of the pieces are in plain view but one player has figured out a way to cheat .
david mamet might kill for a script as good ,
todd mccarthy writes in variety . true , although mamet might also reasonably claim to have inspired it ; the set - up owes something to his
house of games ,
although familiarity with that film will not help you figure out this one .
this is where
nine queens
gets a bit too full of itself , as the story becomes a swirl of characters brought in to twist the plot around . it is a question of who is scamming whom as juan and marcos run into a myriad cast of characters who have their hands in the con game . marcos ' s sister valeria is the beautiful assistant manager at the hotel housing vidal . she has a bone to pick with her brother and threatens his arrest if he brings his thieving ways into her hotel . it turns out that marcos stiffed his own sister and younger brother , federico ( tomas fonzi ) , from an inheritance . valeria will help her wayward brother if he ' ll fess up his scheme to federico . all sorts of other colorful characters are brought in to help with the con .
actor , comedian . born on december 21 , 1957 in queens , new york . raised the middle child of three sons in the neighborhood of forest hills , the aspiring funnyman formed the
no talent
comedy troupe at age 16 . though romano always knew he could make his friends laugh , he didn & apos ; t give stand - up serious consideration as a career until many years later .
nine queens ' class analysis is acute , and narrowly focused on defining the characters . juan ' s eagerness to find a big , fast job is motivated by his poor father ' s situation ( he ' s in prison for scamming , and needs money , and his good son wants to put what his father has taught him to good , mostly moral use ) . and marcos , well , he ' s a bit more reckless , at least as you understand him , always looking for the huge , put - you - over job , willing to gamble , but also confident of his own scamming skills . he had money , or his late father did , in an estate that marcos squandered and also essentially stole from his two siblings , angry valeria ( leticia brédice ) and undauntedly doting federico ( tomás fonzi ) .
thus , in 1998 , while fox and nbc were peddling “getting personal” and “conrad bloom , ” comedies about front - end figures like art directors and admen , cbs banked on a fat deliveryman . the overgroomed swingers foundered , but “the king of queens” persisted . its hero , doug heffernan ( not a relative ) , worked for a u . p . s . - like company that hasn’t gone under .
next thing you know , an old associate of marcos , sandler , calls marcos to say he needs help in selling counterfeit copies of a stamp collection known as the nine queens . sandler , marcos and juan target a rich spanish businessman , gandolfo , who is being deported to venezuela and needs to smuggle his wealth out of argentina . they take the fake stamps to gandolfo at the hotel where he is staying – coincidentally the same hotel where marcos’ sister valeria and younger brother federico work – and after gandolfo’s hired expert has checked them and declared them authentic , the parties agree to the 450 , 000 peso exchange . as luck would have it though , the hired expert later demands a cut of the money ( he knew the stamps were fakes ) and a motorcycle gang steals the briefcase with the fake stamps and throws it into the river .
argentinian thriller nine queens illustrates this point neatly . marco , played by the saturnine ricardo darín , is a con artist milking the streets of buenos aires for all they ' re worth . his meanest trick , which involves squeezing money from tender - hearted old ladies , is second nature but hardly a worthy game . the real challenge is to rook someone unrookable : a corrupt , fabulously wealthy spanish businessman , vidal gandolfo ( ignasi adabal ) . marcos works an elaborate bluff to get gandolfo hooked on a scam , without letting him know he ' s being played . it seems to work beautifully , but next thing we know , gandolfo is deconstructing marcos ' s strategy move by move . he ' s several steps ahead , having seen every double , triple , quadruple bluff in the book – which is precisely why he ' ll fall this time .
criminal
is an adequate americanization of one of my favorite films of 2002 , the delightfully twisty
nine queens ( nueve reinas ) .
adapter / debut director gregory jacobs doesn ' t quite make up for the extra tension that argentina ' s financial chaos added as an urgent back drop . some of the twists are too smoothly straightened out by focusing more on the older con man , here played by john c . reilly , and his sister , played by maggie gyllenhaal without the original ' s sensuality , despite her low cut blouse . diego luna is a mite young , but he ' s cast to turn reilly ' s character into more of a manipulative mentor and less an apparent partner . on its own , without comparison to the original , it ' s an amusing and workmanlike update of
the sting
crossed with
the grifters .
thirteen - time grammy winner grohl , as usual , is the connective tissue , having performed extensively with both bands , most prominently on qotsa’s 2002 lp songs for the deaf and nine inch nails’ 2005 album with teeth . fleetwood mac guitarist / singer buckingham , of course , is the wild card , and his role — singing a kickass version of “tusk” or “the chain , ” maybe his solo hit “go insane” ? — remains to be seen . however , it’s not as random as it might seem : buckingham guested on nine inch nails’ latest lp hesitation marks and also appears in sound city : real to reel , the grohl - directed documentary about the legendary , now - shuttered l . a . studio where many classic albums were recorded ; his fleetwood - mac - mate , stevie nicks , appears in the film and also joined grohl on the sound city players album and tour last year .
first - time helmer / scribe fabian bielinsky does a fair job in creating a mamet - like whirl of characters and cons as the swindlers , juan and marcos , ply their trade on their unsuspecting victims . as the plot thickens , the duo tests each other ' s ability in their scamming game . juan is reluctant at first to team with the unknown marcos , but the promise of a big killing for a day ' s work is too much to resist . the trouble is , you know that someone is conning someone and i got mired in trying to unravel the plot . a more astute script or director may have made this a less hectic tale . instead ,
nine queens
is a benign story of a sting operation that moves along at a good clip and ties it all up in its
surprise
ending - although i was little surprised at the conclusion .
the early years of her reign play out in a suitably stately fashion over the next nine hours . this may not be one to binge - watch quite so rapidly as other netflix offerings – crown , state and church favour small , subtle nudges of each other and loaded silences , rather than loaded guns and pile - driver plots , which doesn’t exactly make the pace sluggish , but it does mean that one or two episodes at a time feels plenty .
between august and december 1957 , picasso carried out an analysis of velázquez’s las meninas . the suite of fifty - eight works that picasso donated to the museu picasso in 1968 consists of forty - four interpretations of the velázquez picture , nine descriptions of the dovecote at his villa la californie studio in cannes , three landscapes and two free interpretations : the piano and portrait of jacqueline . ten of the forty - four oils devoted to las meninas treat the original composition in its entirety .
these complicated and emotionally volatile family ties are only one angle that the film works well . the central scam that occupies marcos and juan involves a sheet of rare stamps , the
nine queens .
or rather , it ' s a sheet of faux - stamps , but , as you hear it , very good quality art . they locate a buyer , gandolfo ( ignasi abadal ) , who ' s about to leave town quick because he ' s been busted for his own expansively shady deals . they have only a matter of hours to set up the deal and deliver . the scam seems simple enough , but inevitably , problems crop up . also inevitably , most of these problems have to do with doubt and betrayal : as much as the conmen must depend on and trust one another to get their work done , they must also assume , given their career choice , that no one can be trusted . thus , their evolving dilemma .
early one morning , marcos observes juan successfully pulling off a bill - changing scam on a cashier , and then getting caught as he attempts to pull the same trick on the next shift . marcos steps in , claiming to be a policeman , and drags juan out of the store . once they are back on the street , marcos reveals himself to be a fellow swindler with a game of much higher stakes in mind , and he invites juan to be his partner in crime . a once - in - a - lifetime scheme seemingly falls into their laps - an old - time con man enlists them to sell a forged set of extremely valuable rare stamps , the nine queens . the tricky negotiations that ensue bring into the picture a cast of suspicious characters , including marcos ' sister valeria , their younger brother federico and a slew of thieves , conmen and pickpockets . as the deceptions mount , it becomes more and more difficult to figure out who is conning whom .
while the foo fighters did not release any new music during this year’s window of eligibility , grohl has two nominations , both connected to sound city : best rock song for “cut me some slack” ( with paul mccartney and the other surviving members of nirvana , a group often dubbed “sirvana” ) , and best compilation soundtrack for visual media ; separately , he appears as a songwriter ( again , with nirvana ) on a best rap song nominee , jay - z’s “holy grail . ” queens are up for two awards : best rock album ( for …like clockwork ) , best rock performance with the album’s “my god is the sun , ” and , indirectly , best engineered album , non - classical . two - time grammy winners nine inch nails’ hesitation marks is nominated for best alternative music album . buckingham is not nominated but is featured on the delta rae song “if i loved you , ” which garnered rob cavallo a shot at producer of the year , non - classical .
luna looks as if he couldn ' t hurt a fly , which works for his character at times . rodrigo has the advantage of having a trustworthy face , his partner tells him . when the duo fall into a high - stakes scam involving valuable antique silver certificates ( a stand - in for the
nine queens
postal stamps of the original ) , it ' s rodrigo who seals the deal by charming an older woman . but luna also looks terrified when rodrigo and richard engage in heated negotiations with the would - be buyer . his visible show of fear makes sense once you have seen the ending , but it just looks squirrelly without the benefit of that knowledge . but luna is always a joy to watch . he even pulls off a silly moment where he flirts with richard ' s sister , asking the virtual stranger whether she recognizes a certain tune and singing a snippet of it . luna commits himself to this left - field moment . a less game actor might have mumbled and slinked off in embarrassment .
early one morning juan is pulling a bill - switching scheme in an all - night deli when marcos , an apparently innocent bystander , pretends to whisk him off to the police . but marcos is a con artist , just helping out a new recruit , and he enlists juan in a plot that he claims will set them up for early retirement . juan is skeptical at first , but agrees to work with marcos after he impresses him with a few sophisticated cons . a once - in - a - lifetime scheme then seemingly falls in their laps - - an old time con man enlists juan and marcos to sell a forged set of extremely valuable rare stamps - - the nine queens . the tricky negotiations that ensue bring into the picture a cast of suspicious characters including marcos ' beautiful sister valeria , their innocent younger brother , frederico who idolizes marcus - - as well as a slew of thieves , conmen and pickpockets . as the action moves from humble barrios to luxury hotels , it soon appears that the city itself is part of an elaborate plot .

some years ago , one went to watch a gujarati comedy called lage raho gujjubhai and found it disturbingly sexist and quite vulgar . but the audiences howling with laughter all around , did not seem to mind the gujjubhai protagonist’s shabby treatment of his wife and children , or his constant lying and cheating .
the film appeals to its target audience because it has everything they expect from gujjubhai , and in spite of the crazy goings on , there is no overacting and very little slapstick — the dialogue ( by randeria ) and the performances carry the film through . the innocent bakul makes a perfect foil for hasubhai .

what gujjubhai possesses in great measure is the gift of the gab , and the ability to lie with a straight face , being able to wriggle out of any situation by coming up with a believable fib . the person at the receiving end , is more often than not , his wife . gujarati plays are brazenly politically incorrect that way , the wife is portrayed as a shrew who scares her husband . the husband keeps trying to find ways of fooling her , grumbles about her temper , her extravagance , her stupidity , flirts with other women , but the marriage is unbreakable .
