Kill the Jockey Gallops Into Theaters July 2

Get ready for a wild, stylish ride. Kill the Jockey, the latest from Argentine director Luis Ortega, opens in theaters Wednesday, July 2. This surreal tragicomedy follows Remo, a down-and-out jockey caught in a spiral of self-destruction, shady gangsters, and personal crisis. But just when things hit rock bottom, Remo reemerges as someone entirely new—Dolores, a glamorous figure draped in mink and carrying a chic handbag.

With a retro look, a soundtrack full of Latin pop and disco, and a stunning lead performance by Nahuel Pérez Biscayart (BPM), Kill the Jockey is equal parts absurd, emotional, and unforgettable. Critics have called it “audacious,” “lawless,” and “a glorious ride.”
