Raising Victor Vargas is a coming of age story set against
the backdrop of the Latin American community in NY. Manhattans
gritty, majestic Lower East Side is the sweltering romantic
playground for Victor Vargas (Victor Rasuk), a self-styled teenaged
Casanova who, despite his adolescent hubris, has a lot to learn
about love. Peter Solletts feature debut is a stunning piece of
filmmaking that carefully explores the stumbling blocks of growing
up, capturing adolescence at its most tender, funny and genuine.
Screened at the 2003 Melbourne Festival, it also enjoyed a very
successful Australian theatrical season and was extremely well
received at a rental level. This DVD sell-thru version of RVV also
features Solletts rare 29 minute short film Five Feet High &
Rising, (the inspiration for RVV) as well as the 10 minute
documentary, Five Feet High Companion.
