Pizza, Beer, and Cigarettes

A couple of friends work for a taxi driver to rob his passengers, but they feel like they're getting ripped off. They decide to plan their own robberies, but they are amateurs and things don't go too well. One of the youths, Cordoba, whose girlfriend Sandra is pregnant, just wants to get enough cash so they can leave Argentina and get to Uruguay to start a new life. He and his friends plan one last robbery, but things don't go as planned.

Directed by Adrián Caetano, Bruno Stagnaro, Pizza, Beer, and Cigarettes leans on a strong ensemble — Héctor Anglada, Jorge Sesán, Pamela Jordán — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1998.
