National Cinema: two comedies, a drama and two documentaries are released

Two well -made comedies, attractive, a couple of good documentaries and a drama of unique content form this week’s national novelties, in one more test of the wealth of our cinema.

At the head, “Message in a bottle”of Gabriel Nesciinspired creation of fine, intelligent humor, where a 40 -year -old sommelier, then 30, and less, or 40 again, as the message is coming, is entangled between the demands of a contest, the insistence of three pretended galanes and a fatty winemaker, and the affectionate support of his father and a friend of his father, all this in the beautiful land Mendoza.

We said she is a sommelier. But the film, which plays with a new time travel system, rather than winemakers has a “vitivinylovinícola” air, neologism created by its father, who likes to pair wines with longplays. Thus they sound The Police with “Message in a Bottle” and Neil Diamond with “Red, Red Wine”, among others, and suddenly, in a comically disruptive scene, it appears “When you love someone”, from and with Banana Pueyrredon. Does not stop rejoicing Gabriel Nescithe same as “all against Juan”, “days of vinyl”, “almost legends” and “The Knacks: leave me in the past.” This time they accompany him Luisana Lopilaato (and part of his family in a cameo), Benjaín Vicuña, Benjamía Amadeo, Rafael Spregelburd, Luciano Cáceres, Inés Estévez, Marina Bellati, Eduardo Blanco and Luis Machin In affectionate duo, and Gabriel Corrado With a very good autoparadical character (it is recommended to wait for the bonus that is stuck to the final credits). For those who love to find references or coincidences, if there is a relationship with another film here, it is with “The Way of Wine” by Nicolás Carreras. Both remind us of the same and simple moral: wine has its “terroir”, people too.

Declared dramatic comedy, “The homemade” It has a kind of acidic humor, which skillfully confronts three characters: loyalty, use, unconsciousness. An architect with business ínfulas and his failed brother reach the door of a fifth house on the outskirts of Carlos Paz. They have not seen themselves for years, and they have not seen the property. It remained in the care of the lifelong home, care that includes among other things to take charge of paying taxes and services.

Now, as the smallest stipend never came, so far that landlord arranged them on his own, renting the pool, or a piece where the girls of a magazine theater can keep their locker rooms, in short. And he lives quietly in a little house in the background with his wife and children. Thus, it is evident that well advised this man I could well initiate a twenty -year property procedure, for more love that those brothers have to grow. On the other hand, the architect does not have the slightest appreciation, he only thinks about throwing it with a mere retirement and the sooner to demolish everything and specify there an ambitious real estate plan.

Investors are coming! And she, instead of making a partner or a thing, hires a lawyer. Which proposes a solution of bad bug (but allows the director a fairly funny scene with two other happily dangerous characters). So far what we can tell. Director, Matías Lucchesithat of the beautiful “natural sciences” (and others not so good). Interpreters, Paola Barrientos, Alfonso Tort, Alvin Astorga. More or less allegorical references, the musical theme of “Zorba el Griego” and history, which someone tells, of the nearby San Roque. As they feared that they would not bear the weight of the water they did another with imported material, they put dynamite the first and there it continues. The one who burst was the other.

The drama “Thesis on a domestication ” He is already raising Polvareda. Javier Van de Couter and Camila Sosa Villadadirector and protagonist, had worked together in “Mía”, a sensitive story of friendship between an orphan girl and a transvestite cartonera with a mother’s heart. Now they meet again, this time with the story of a very paid transsexual actress of herself who marries a bisexual lawyer and adopts a child sick of AIDS whose biological mother is about to die. We count the latter because the film does not explain it from the entrance, which causes some confusion. In truth, here several things take time to explain, or remain in a nebula, as if in the assembly some scenes had been removed, and in the end the public even wonders even what the mentioned thesis was. A key, in the end the presumed, almighty actress warns her limits. Other keys are in the original novel of Sosa Villada, which looks in all scenes.

Documentaries

Let’s go to the documentaries. “227 moons” The life of a big child who as a child dreamed with the mysteries of the sky and still dreams, manufactures artisanrally faithful reproductions of the planets (at scale, of course), is showing in successive vignettes, infects his passion to the small members of a children’s workshop, he has his own website, and suddenly receives an order nothing less than the European Space Agency. They will send a rocket to Jupiter and want to give a souvenir to employees who participate in the launch.

Let’s say, one moon for each one, 227 in total. There is a date to fulfill such an order, and there is also a place in the French Guyana to see, from afar, that launch. From the primary teacher who helped him write to NASA asking precisely a photo of Jupiter, until the emotion of see Or as the girls who tell the camera, very funny and loose body, a certain detail of the sentimental life of our character (which not only with planets dreams of one). Second documentary of Brenda Taubinthat of the delicious “telma, cinema and the soldier.”

“I filmed Osvaldo Bayer” It is a somewhat ampulous title. Bayer has been filmed from 1974 onwards (Flat Risueño of “La Patagonia Rebelde” where he appears with the director Héctor Olivera as two stagnant in the final celebration), figure interviewed in abundant documentaries and have dedicated at least five: “Quarantine. Exile and return”, “The tales of the helmsman”, “Osvaldo Bayer. From his daughter Ana, 2019. But Favio Zurita was periodically filming him from 1994 to 2017 (a year before his death), in conferences, talks and tributes, interviewed his friends, and in parallel he was also telling the difficulties of a typical Argentine filmmaker who must even work with a chamber borrowed. In that sense, the title is justified and the work more than justified (although somewhat partialized registration, because it leaves Bayer’s criticism to Che Guevara and other significant statements).
