The director adds his opinion after Ricardo Darín’s response to the controversy generated by the veteran actor.
In recent days the renowned Argentine actor Luis Bandoni called “scumbag” “Argentina, 1985”the movie of Santiago Miter which shows what the trial was like against the genocidaires of the last civic-military dictatorship, where his colleague Ricardo Darin has a leading role personifying the prosecutor Julio Strassera.
Faced with these explosive statements, Ricardo Darín declared: “I’m not going to answer Luis (Brandoni), because I’m still stunned, with pain in my soul.. I am not going to respond to this, because it seems to me that it is contributing to something that has neither head nor tail,” in statements to the newspaper Clarín.
“I don’t know where it comes from, I don’t know what’s wrong with him. The truth is, I’m… Like many other people, we are shocked, this is the reality. “I’m not going to get into this, because it’s delusional.”the Argentine actor with an enormous international career stated sadly regarding his colleague’s statements.
Now he was the director Santiago Miter who echoed the news and gave his point of view on the matter.
The word of Santiago Miter about the sayings of Luis Brandoni
Santiago Miter, in conversation with Gustavo Grabia on Radio Con Vos, he stated: “It seems to me that when a film generates discussions about what it says, about what it doesn’t say, about what it could have said better, about what it could have empathized with, that speaks well of the film. . I receive this type of criticism well and it seems to me that it expands the discourses that the film has.. One is talking about the Trial of the Juntas, which is an event generated during the government of Raúl Alfonsín, that is, when a person thinks that Alfonsín is not being represented at all well, it generates talk about the presidency of Alfonsín, I think it is a good thing.”
Asked about the focus of the story and why put the focus on some people and not others, he clarified: “I would have loved to talk about many more things that the film talks about and I feel that in many cases some of the criticisms they may be right. I would have liked to be able to talk more about the participation of human rights organizations in the trial, I would have liked to be able to include many more testimonies than those that were included in the film. We understood that to tell this important fact in Argentine politics it was necessary to focus on some key characters, and the characters we focused on were Strassera, Moreno Ocampo and his team of young lawyers and Adriana Calvo de Laborde and many others. Of course it is a film and it has to choose a point of view, and through that point of view it has to try to give the broadest vision possible. The truth is that we tried, I think that in many cases people think that we achieved it, some think that we did not achieve it as much and maybe that is the good thing about making a film.”
