Mi obra maestra

Never disappointed of Argentinian movies, like always. Amazing movie.

This movie was directed by Mariano Cohn (well known for co-directing "El ciudadano ilustre", a movie I enjoyed a lot un 2016) and was hilarious, funny, sad, dramatic... plenty of feelings combined. Brandoni delivered a great performance, he is basically the movie, even if he doesn't appear at the screen. With this movie time goes really fast. Pure entertainment.

Very amusing all the way through. Guillermo Francella was also in The Secret in Their Eyes (the Argentinian version), where he displayed the exact same dead-pan humor playing as Pablo Sandoval. In fact the whole movie seemed to be written for his style of humor (tongue-in-cheek).

I really enjoyed this movie, was above expectations. Living as a foreigner in Buenos Aires, Argentina, I quickly recognized the strong Argentinean culture elements in this movie about relationships and how people interact in Argentina. The friendship is one strong element that is shown how it survives with all ups and downs, but also how businesses are dealt here locally is well portrayed.

Besides that, the directing and acting of the key characters is well done, very convincing, and able to time the moments and express themselves in their settings.

The camera work and music are two other pluspoints, well taken and integrated, and able to picture the city as well as the landscapes.

The script is relaxing with some some good and funnny comedy scenes, as well as some exciting scenes to keep the plot moving. The speed the story is told is good, not too boring while still keeping the viewer well maintained of how the plot unravels.

Really enjoyed it.

I gave it a 9 because I watch many movies, and i like this one a lot and I have not yet seen a 10.

First, a realistic portrait and touching eulogy of friendship. Second - admirable work of Luis Brandoni and Guillermo Francella. Not the last - the healthy humor. Short, just the comedy who you must see. Not only for story/situations/ characters but for the precise lessons about beauty, joy and profound comradery. And, sure, about a too , very honest ONG activist.
