Redacción Ricardo Darín and Diego Peretti lead the main Argentine arrival on Netflix
With 'We Leave It Here' and 'The Last Giant,' Darín, Peretti, and Oscar Martínez bring national cinema to the platform
Netflix strengthens its commitment to Argentine talent with two productions that bring together figures such as Ricardo Darín, Diego Peretti, and Oscar Martínez. With powerful storylines and filming in iconic locations, both films aim to captivate a global audience.
The first, Lo dejamos acá, is produced by Kenya Films—the company of Ricardo and Chino Darín—and directed by Hernán Goldfrid. The project presents an interpretive duel between a pragmatic psychoanalyst (Darín) and a blocked writer (Peretti), exploring the boundaries of professional ethics and psychoanalysis.
"Lo dejamos acá": intrigue, ethics, and psychological tension
The script, written by Emanuel Diez—creator of El Encargado—combines tension, sharp dialogue, and moments of introspection. The narrative questions the traditional norms of therapy and raises questions about truth, integrity, and human nature.
Goldfrid, who has already worked with Darín on Tesis sobre un homicidio, directs with an approach that seeks to provoke debate. His goal is to invite the audience to reflect on the dilemmas faced by professions that work with the mind.
Filming began in May and features a top-level technical team. The chemistry between Darín and Peretti promises an intense story, with silences full of meaning and memorable scenes.
"El último gigante": reunions and second chances
The second production, El último gigante, is currently being filmed in Puerto Iguazú, Misiones, under the direction of Marcos Carnevale. The plot follows a tour guide who reunites with his father after 28 years, exploring themes of forgiveness and rebuilding relationships.
The cast includes Oscar Martínez, Matías Mayer, Inés Estévez, Luis Luque, Silvia Kutika, and Yoyi Francella. The film, produced by Leyenda Films and Kuarzo International Films, combines the landscapes of Misiones with an emotional and relatable story.
With these two projects, Netflix consolidates its strategy of including Argentine productions in its global catalog. Stories rooted in local identity but with universal themes reinforce the value of national cinema in the streaming era.
