Silvia Prieto

Silvia Prieto (1999) is an Argentine drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Martín Rejtman. On the morning after her twenty-seventh birthday, Silvia decides things need to change — new job, new habits, a cleaner start. Then she finds out there is another woman in Buenos Aires with the exact same name.

Rejtman shoots in a deliberately stripped-down register: no musical cues, no explanatory dialogue, just Buenos Aires routines stacking up into something that begins to feel less like coincidence and more like a mirror. Rosario Bléfari plays Silvia with a flatness that reads as quiet bewilderment. Vicentico, frontman of Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, appears in a supporting role. An early and characteristic piece of the New Argentine Cinema movement. Stream Silvia Prieto (1999) online on iFILM.
