Vientos de agua

Thank you, Campanella, for this awesome story! Incredible actors, and so well done!

This miniseries is epically profound! Ostensibly about immigrants to, and from, Argentina (which makes this move a must-see for anyone interested in, or planning to visit, Argentina), but in fact it is one of the most insightful looks into the drama of the human condition.

I am 60 years old, and lived an adventurous life. It takes a lot to impress me... yet this series affected me profoundly! I can honestly say that watching this series was far more productive and meaningful than months of therapy. It quite literally changed my life! This is a very unknown series because it was aired on Public TV (Instituto Nacional de Cine y Artes Audiovisuales), and they kept changing the times and put it on at very odd times, and never reran it. Even in Argentina is is barely known of.

Juan Campanella is best known (internationally) for directing "El secreto de sus ojos" (2009), for which he won Best Foreign Film. It was a brilliant film, but this, IMHO, surpasses that movie! Especially in light of the fact that Campanella was also the creator and writer (p.s. other directed and wrote some episodes as well, so credit to them)

Don't judge before you've watched at least 3 episodes. Totaly worth it. Slightly reminds to Cinema Paradiso. Emotive and intense. Definitely a masterpiece.

I'm watching this for the second time because I enjoyed it so much the first and I'm liking it even better because I understand more of the dialogue and it's easier to follow knowing the plot already. But on the second viewing I can see even more the brilliant story writing and the weaving of the two tales. I would rank it in my top ten list of TV series. My only criticism is I've never seen such unattractive goofy guys get so many beautiful women!

I just don't like the Argentine abuse of the imperative form of verbs, which hurts the ears and disfigures the beautiful Spanish language. It sounds aggressive, annoying, and distracts me. I'm a fan of the screenwriter, director, and producer Juan José Campanella and I'd never noticed this in his films. I really like 'The Secret in Their Eyes,' and 'The Son of the Bride'... Could it be that the bad habit of the imperative is increasing in Argentina? It's a shame, because the country has an excellent filmography. Now, my ears - and my eyes, very much so - are delighting in One Hundred Years of Solitude.
