Once Upon a Time in (White) Hollywood
Tarantino's alternative history of the 1960's uncritically repeats the era's sexist and racist stereotypes.
Malandras
Débora, a journalist from Buenos Aires, receives news that the mayor of a town in the province of Buenos Aires, Patacón, has been murdered. She senses that an uprising is about to erupt there after the assassination, so she takes the initiative to go cover the event. Once there, she discovers the place is split in two: Patacón, the traditional town, and Mala Muerte, where those who were cast out for being “different” ended up. When she tries to cross into Mala Muerte, she is stopped, and introduced to Chief Moreira, who threatens her and warns her not to meddle where she isn’t wanted. Ignoring Moreira’s threat, she crosses into Mala Muerte and meets Lucero, the leader of the rebellion, who is believed to be the mayor’s killer. He explains what Mala Muerte means to them, and everything they have suffered for being expelled. After this, Débora must choose: tell the story according to the chief’s version, or align herself with Lucero’s perspective and uphold his narrative.
