I'm Argentinian, but I generally don't like Argentinian movies. And it's not because there isn't any good actor/actress in the country. The fact is that there are a lot of excellent actors... what happens is that normally the movie scripts just suck.
In this case the movie blew me away... the plot, the performances, well... everything. A special thing that I really loved was the beautiful close-ups, the little expressions in the faces of everybody, the wrinkles, the words not said with the mouths, but with the eyes, every desire, every single detail of the number of emotions that everyone has.
"El hijo de la novia", "Luna de Avellaneda", "El secreto de sus ojos"... it's not a coincidence that all these movies have Campanella and Darín working in tandem.
This is the way more Argentinian movies should be: actors+SCRIPT.
