Um Segredo em Buenos Aires

A film that covers two significants events in Argentine culture and history, the military government that tried to transform society through terror and extermination and Tango, a unique musical style in the world that reflects passion and suffering in its melody as well as in its staging.

Director Alison tells us a story that could have been a real one, introducing us to Davie's life and the secrets of his family circle that does not convince him and in his search for answers all he finds is a new question and with the support of his sister Diana will end up finding a new version of himself.

Undoubtedly this drama leaves us much more than a simple story. A highly recommended film with an amazing cast.

Finally available in Canada on AppleTV. Alison Murray, the movie director, writer and the producer, takes you to hot Buenos Aires. The story of two siblings from Toronto traveling to Buenos to visit the city which their parents are from. The family left Argentina in the 70's and never went back, never talked about it! But Didi and Dave, now in their 30's, want to know more. However there is a price for the truth. Was it worth it ? Heck , yes!!! Emotional history lesson wrapped up in so much beautiful tango music! Fun to watch when one recognizes the streets one walked and the milongas one danced at.

Ariel is a film about tango, family, history and awful things being hidden and uncovered. The history of the Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo is really well portrayed. Great performances by the main actors, especially Raphael Grosz-Harvey and Eleonora Wexler. A beautiful score and gorgeous, arial shots of Buenos Aires. The film is skillfully and sensitively directed by Alison Murray. The complex indictment of characters and corporations for their collaboration in Argentina's military dictatorship between 1976-1983 is a huge part of this film's accomplishment. I hope this film travels far and is seen worldwide.

Ariel is a beautiful, moving film about family, the history of a country, and the power of dance. The film is beautifully shot and features great performances. I highly recommend it, specially being from Argentina myself.

Here are some specific things I liked about the movie:

The cinematography and camera work was stunning.

The performances by the cast were all great.

The dance scenes were incredibly well-choreographed.

Overall, I really enjoyed Ariel. It's a beautiful, moving, and well-made film. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves family dramas, dance movies, or movies about Argentina.

A wonderful film that pairs an intoxicating setting (and clearly the director's love of tango), with an engaging narrative that takes us on an eye-opening journey to Argentina. The actors playing the brother and sister are convincing in their complex roles, and their flaws and contradictions make them interesting to watch. The story's historical context intertwines the present and the past with a satisfying ending at its climax, and the main characters' internal (and external) resolution feels earned. Highly recommended to audiences interested in issues concerning identity, art/dance, history, politics, and romance. A viewing pleasure!
