Butch and Sundance. Oscar and Felix. Thelma and Louise. Multi-award winning Argentinean film On Probation adds a worthy pair to this classic list: Díaz and Silverstein. Rule-bending policeman Díaz lives alone in a hotel room, in despair, in the aftermath of leaving his cheating wife. He is allowed to return to work on the condition that he works with therapist Silverstein. Although the two are distrustful of one another at the outset, Díaz and Silverstein bond in the midst of strained marriages and uncovering a complex web of spies, nuclear threats and government officials who operate like mob bosses. Argentina’s diverse population, the country’s cultural obsession with psychoanalysis, and its institutionalized government corruption are all comic fodder for director Damián Szifron in this action-filled comedy.
