Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The real Carlos Robledo Puch is still alive, serving Argentina's longest prison sentence, and reportedly hated that the film made him 'too sympathetic.'
Ortega deliberately modeled Carlitos after 70s Argentine pop stars and James Dean, weaponizing the era's masculine aesthetic icons against themselves.
