This is not the first nor it will be the last Argentinian film to play the role of educating people that had been under economic distress. the art of Argentinian cinema consists of telling through filming Argentina's history offering at the same time entertainment, consciousness and fictitious solutions to social dramas. Ricardo Darin is an actor representative of this type of film without losing the art of interpretation. In 2000, the Corallito was a bank determination issued by Argentina's government blocking all accounts to withdraw more than 50 dollars day. It created a havoc on common people savings. The screenplay develops a story where a group of Argentinian workers collects their savings to create a cooperative but the money ended up in the hands of a bank operator. They will organize themselves to get the money back no just for them but to their small town needy people.
Fmovies: Good actors, good humor, good dialogue and story that correlates with current Argentinian economic and political history
"La Odisea de los Giles" by Sebastian Borensztein is an Argentinian movie that hit the screen the 15 of August. The script is an adaptation of a book written by Eduardo Sacheri called "la noche de la Usina". The main actors are Ricardo Darin and Luis Brandoni, many well-known Argentinian actors perform as their supporting actors. The movie deals with a difficult time in the history of Argentina, an event known as "Corralito", which works as the topic of the film. The theme is an interesting one "what a group of people is capable of after they are deceived and a crisis strikes their country". The movie starts in a small town in Argentina where Fermin (Ricardo Darin), his wife and Fontana (Luis Brandoni) want to start a "cooperativa" with other neighbors from the same town. After they obtain the money they need, Fermin goes to the bank and is advised to do something. However, when an unexpected crisis knocks in their country's door, they lose all their money but when they find the responsible, they decide to take the law into their own hands and recover what belongs to them. In my opinion, the movie is very good. The characters work as a representation of how people in Argentina suffered and were affected by "corralito". Some viewers will feel identified and other will sympathize with the characters, the viewers can feel their anger, their helplessness, and more. Although the movie has the typical Argentinian humor, you will be glued to your chair wanting to know what will happen next. I recommend to watch this movie because It has a catching plot and an interesting development, and if you enjoy of a little bit of humor, you will find a good balance between humor, suspense and drama present in "La Odisea de los Giles".
Heroic Losers fmovies. For a film based on historical facts and not on a big budget, it's very well done. The cast is incredible and they were lucky enough to have the best actors in Argentina. The VFX, music, cinematography and plot are very well done.
My tens and I hope it wins Best Foreign Film at the Oscars 2020.
I am from Argentina, and this is just amazing. That moment in our countrie's history is just so well represented. The actors are 100% Argentinian, the dialogs perfect. Super funny and it gives you a positive feeling
A film for the masses, that's what i'm talking about. It's not just contenting the critics but the people. And this movie is a great example: great critic reviews and a great acceptance by the public. Don't lose the opportunity to watch it at the big screen, it's worth it.
