Vikingo

This film is crude, yet strangely captivating. The story lines are not bad or uninteresting but I feel they could have gone more into detail, at least regarding the two main characters. It feels as for moments, the film goes stale due to the rhythm, that sometimes seems to be more focused in showing the lifestyle of the motorcyclists of the "Conurbano" as opposed to the story itself. Nonetheless I think it's a fairly loyal depiction of a time and reality that would probably serve as a useful referential document in times to come. The shooting scenes are exceptionally well done. It would be good to see more of these kind of movies being made. It's also worth mentioning the Rockabilly cover of "Adios Muchachos" by "La Rockabilera del Sur".

Vikingo is basically a local Biker geezer with some strict ethic codes. He lives in the Greater Buenos Aires with his wife and kids and also a up to no good little brat of a nephew who hangs about with some local Hoodlums. At some point Vikingo encounters a derelict fellow Biker named Aguirre sleeping next to his motorcycle in some abandoned building. He takes a liking for him and offers him shelter and food with his family. Aguirre seems to be escaping from a tormented love affair which makes him a difficult to deal with, yet Vikingo tolerates him. In the meantime the nephew gets into trouble and things start to get dodgy...
