The posthumous film by Fernando “Pino” Solanas hits theaters

The documentary investigates the inspiration, its multiple triggers and, above all, the daily, intermittent or planned work and vital questioning before the creative act, sometimes urgent or long-term, in the work of each of the artists in their disciplines.

With a career that includes inescapable titles in the history of Argentine cinema, both in documentaries such as “The hour of the furnaces” (1968), “Memory of the sacking” (2004) and “Journey to the fumigated peoples” (2018); and fictions among which are “Los Niños de Fierro” (1975), “El exilio de Gardel” (1985) or “Sur” (1988), the last film by Pino Solanas makes footing in the necessary reading of chaos to arrive to the work he was looking for, and then to give an account of his political commitment, exile and the difficulties he had to overcome throughout his life.

The “themes” of “Pino” traverse the artistic and personal life of his friends in the same way, where beyond exiles and a history marked by the dictatorship, the story gives off a similar idea regarding the audacity of the creative freedom, nonconformity and the conviction of one’s own path chosen by the three creators.

But the film also involuntarily conveys a kind of gloomy emotion upon seeing Pavlovsky who passed away in 2015, and Solanas, who did not know it would be his last work, in a testimony that can be read as the worthy cinematographic testament of an extraordinary career
