‘The Delinquents’ Director Rodrigo Moreno Makes You Wonder if You’d Like to Rob a Bank

Rodrigo Moreno’s “The Delinquents” opens with the most low-key heist in movie history. Bank employee Morán (Daniel Elías) nonchalantly strolls out of work with about $650,000 of the bank’s cash, then asks his coworker Román (Esteban Bigliardi) to help hide the money.

Morán is willing to serve jail time so that he can enjoy the money when he gets out. “Three and a half years in jail,” he says, “or 25 years at the bank?”

After this beginning, and over its bold three-hour running time, the story morphs into a sly, humane, existential comedy about life, work and the use of one’s time.
