A tremendous, largely wordless perf by Arturo Goetz is at the heart of the intense and intimate “The Mugger,” an urgent, real-time study of a man in search of unusual kicks. Following a 60-year-old around Buenos Aires, docu-style, as he robs a couple of people may not sound like the most thrilling premise. But Goetz and lenser Cobi Migliora bring it dramatically to life, with the pic ending as a kind of “Pickpocket”-style entertainment combining existentialism with excitement. Festival auds should warm to this edgy, offbeat offering, which exploits limited dramatic resources to the max.
