Todo sobre el asado

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.

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.

Very tongue in cheek with a strong dose of irreverent humor but still a good representation of how much Argentines love asado, where it comes from, the ins and outs of cookery and cuts, etc.

It's not for everyone but for those that are open to a bit of a meandering, not to be taken too seriously journey through asado's history and Argentina - you'll be pleased.

This documentary is a full expression for Argentinean character throughout its most passionate tradition: El Asado. It is a masterpice.

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.
