When Gabino’s father returns home after a long absence, the two men awkwardly attempt to re-establish a relationship; but Gabino and his mother quickly tire of this man who has become a stranger. Though Greatest Hits continues Pereda’s exploration of his perennial themes of absence, masculinity, and the difficulty of maintaining a family, it opens a whole new set of aesthetic questions through a bold formal gambit: halfway through, the entire narrative reboots and starts from scratch with another actor playing one of the key characters, leading to different iterations of events already witnessed.
