(Chile, 2001, 90 min. In Spanish with English subtitles)
Ulises' beat-up taxi breaks down in a slum district of Santiago de Chile and is commandeered by two bandits, who force him to drive them around and become an accomplice in their crimes. Ulises, who can't make the payments on this car, makes more in a few hours than he's made in months. With the lure of easy money, it isn't long before victim becomes the perpetrator. A box office hit in Chile, and winner of the top prize at the San Sebastian Film Festival, TAXI PARA TRES is a sharp, black comedy that explores the margins of contemporary Chilean society
