Pablo Trapero
Pablo Trapero (Born 4 October 1971, in San Justo, Buenos Aires Province) is an Argentine film producer, editor and director.[1]
His films are known for portraying the lives of ordinary people, and usually involving some form of social criticism to modern society, such as his movie Mundo Grúa (which portrayed the life of a migrant contract worker), or the highly-acclaimed El Bonaerense, which focused on the corruption and the lives of Buenos Aires Province police officers.
He's also known for speaking about taboo subjects such incest, as portrayed in his recent film as a producer Géminis (directed by Albertina Carri), which depicts a romantic relationship between brothers.
His 2010 film Carancho was selected as the Argentine entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 83rd Academy Awards, [2] but it didn't make the final shortlist.[3]
