Carri’s impressive debut film is a noir vision of a paranoid and dangerous Buenos Aires where a group of diverse Porteños are fatefully linked by a brutal killing. Shot in low-fi black and white, I Won’t Go Back Home immediately revealed Carri’s interest in extreme style and provocative imagery designed to shock, unsettle and almost assault the viewer into a new consciousness about the injustice and violence her films have continued to attack with urgent energy.
