Featured review
Not modern Uruguay, but funny & simpatico
Just loved this flick, though the poverty scenario portrayed is as absent nowadays as ragged children are to Naples. But a very compelling reflection of the Past. Never got to see Jean-Paul in the flesh, but was very lucky to see his successor, so very connected with that aura of Christ's Catholic representative on Earth - which is the basis of this film. Loved the crude bicycles, the foolishness and the running from border guards. A lot of Beto's eccentricity (played by Cesar Troncoso) has echos in Zorba, the Greek. He is a Tragic Hero.
