Retour de flamme

This movie has a great joke. With the book "The Origin of the Family and Private Property" by Engels in his hands, Ricardo Darin's character exclaims: "They need to make a film of this book!". In fact, all the "porteño humor" in the film is very good. The use of "lunfardo", the typical Buenos Aires slang, gives the film a characteristic humor that delights those who, like me, had the pleasure of living in Buenos Aires for a while. The main couple gives a show of interpretation, taking advantage of the excellent dialogues. It's not a classic, it doesn't have the depth of a Bergman, but it entertains and entertains with intelligence and humour. It's worth the ticket!

A romantic comedy has a lot of cliches, that's the case in almost every film like this. But for local audience, in Argentina, this film has very good reception because we love these two actors and because we talk like they do. The conversations are sooo long, it made me wonder how would an audience from another country feel about this. I enjoyed the film. Not "the greatest" but it is rather good, has charm, excellent acting, dialogues and music. and they are supported by a magnificent cast.

Wonderful movie. The "not for everybody" is related to a comment overheard during the projection of the film. Somebody near to us said: "There is nothing going on!" I guess there will be people thay may said that, but the problem is that this is a movie that requires the spectator to adapt to the pace of the film. There is a lot going on during the whole movie but you need to pay attention and to have "feeling" for what is happening on the screen. The acting by Darín and Morán is superb, but it is not just them. Short appearances by Claudia Lapacó, Norman Brisky and Chico Novarro are memorable. The dialogues are credible and smart. If you go to the movies just looking for fights, chasing cars and the like, this one is not for you. But if you like to be moved by the story told on the screen, that may have to do with your own life, do not miss this one.

Not for anybody, it is for 30+ people. Funny and aspirational

The film is too long , full of cliches, bad humor , no chemistry between the lead actors and so so predictable! We know from the beginning of the film how it's going to end .
