Asado, mein Lieblingsgericht aus Argentinien

It seems to take a pulse of the country at a producer/ working level. While attempting to educate.

Some part of me hopes it was primarily meant to be seen by urban wealthy Argentina and the 1st world. So they could say it was an ironic mockumentary. While being told some home truths and fed some interesting information around the topic

As I watched this, i went through phases. Initially I thought, this sucks as a doco.

Then I thought it sucked as a mocko.

But, I think this product is the result of funding buying into the pitch but then toning it down. Standsrd art and funding. If so, Target achieved. Something for urban liberals to titter at and snowflakes to Twitter at.

This amateur documentary should be about 25 minutes, but the directors extended it to 1hr 23 mins to have a film instead a short film. That is why we see a lot of stupid scenes like: hairstylist's cow, a Jewish singer, a baby's first taste of meat, a speech about bad breath when you eat meat by a Jewish dentist, a lot of long shots only to extend the duration of the film. That happens in all Netflix productions in Latin America, they want to produce a lot of works for their streaming catalog.

A journey into the depths of Argentina. Baking is both a meal and a ritual. It's primitive and contemporary, wild and refined, an art and a science. The barbecue with greater originality the essential traits of the national identity. A unique analysis of Argentine culture, customs and gastronomy, through the traditional national barbecue, which is not only a meal but also a ritual.

All about the Argentine roast, the best meat in the world, a curious, interesting documentary, portrayed in a comical way to break old stigmas and legend that every cut of meat was Argentine creation, a tasty documentary, which makes us salivate... (I am meat lover, addict, love that blood oozing from the barbecue, but one day I will be VEGAN)

I had heard about Argentina's love affair with beef before, but this doc really brings it to the forefront. The film is very informative of course, but the cast of interesting and sometimes quirky characters was outstanding. Nearly all the people interviewed were very colorful in describing their passion for "asado". Even the narrator was great, yet a little funny in his narration and interviews. Definitely check this out.

Must watch!. We really enjoyed the film, Argentinians have a very nice sense of humor, their traditions and food are very rich too, this film wont let you down. Very well narrated!
