The Clan - Sunday 20th November 5pm

The latest from director Pablo Trapero promises to be an icy look at the minds of a family who are willing to kidnap and kill just to make money: The Clan is the Puccio family in Argentina who continued 'disappearing' people after democracy had returned in 1983. How much the family are in on the father's schemes you can decide, but the resulting film is a gripping thriller.

"The patriarch is Arquimedes Puccio, played brilliantly by Guillermo Francella, his piercing, pale-blue eyes gazing from another, darker world"  - Kate Muir, Times. "Related in gritty Scorsese fashion with striking Hollywood style, and revealing Trapero's top-notch storytelling prowess and expert technical flair, the movie builds to a truly stunning climax" – Alan Jones, Radio Times
