Rojo is a 2018 mystery thriller drama film, directed by Benjamín Naishtat and released in 2018.[1] Set in the 1970s, the film stars Darío Grandinetti as Claudio Morán, a lawyer who becomes slowly enmeshed in the culture of silent bourgeois complicity around the strange unexplained enforced disappearances of political dissidents in the months leading up to the 1976 Argentine coup d'état.[2]

The cast also includes Andrea Frigerio, Alfredo Castro, Diego Cremonesi, Laura Grandinetti, Susana Pampin, Rudy Chernicoff, Claudio Martinez, Mara Bestelli and Rafael Federman.
