The dark film follows the family as they hold victims captive
in their home for ransom money.
Trapero's first film, "Mundo Grua" (Crane World), took two
prizes at the world's oldest film festival in 1999. He also
premiered his "Familia Rodante" there in 2004 and sat on the
jury in 2012.
"I'm happy to be back in the competition because it has been a
long time since Argentina has had a film in competition in
Venice," Trapero told reporters in Buenos Aires on Monday.
The film stars Argentine actors Guillermo Francella as family
patriarch Arquimedes Puccio and Peter Lanzani as his son
Alejandro.
"The process of working with Pablo (Trapero) was really helpful
for to me to give life to these kinds of individuals with whom
you don't have any kind of kinship with whatsoever; not in
spirit, behavior or anything," Francella said.
"Opposites are great for actors and to be able to explore
something in an interpretative way, something different that
makes you uncomfortable, it's usually ideal for me."
"El Clan" opens in Argentina on August 13 and the Venice
festival runs from Sept. 2-12.
