The Distinguished Citizen (2016)

A Nobel-winning novelist who has lived in Europe for decades finally accepts an invitation back to Salas, the small Argentine town that fed all his books. Every civic honor, old acquaintance and local favor-seeker is funnier and more uncomfortable than the last. Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat have a gift for cringe comedy that slowly curdles into menace, and Oscar Martínez won the Volpi Cup for Best Actor at Venice for playing the writer as both snob and victim. It is the best film here about the gap between the Argentina people leave and the one they write about, and it ends on a sly question mark.
