Best movie of this year hands down!
How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.
It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
One of my favorites movies from Argentina. The simply story of a person (Federico Luppi) who doesn't want to pay "black money" in order to have what should be a right: water. Just for wants to do the things under the law, Luppi will lost the respect of all the neighbors (who do accept to pay money to a person from the local government to have the connection to the public water), and his own family who doesn't understand and won't pay- the need of do the right think. In some parts of the picture, Luppi remains to a modern and south American Gary Cooper in High Noon, but in a very often situation in the Argentina of the last 30 years.
This movie is one of the best movies that has been filmed in Argentina. The lines and the actors are excellent. I have to recommend this movie because is just great. Federico Luppi is the main actor and plays a very important role in the film, and I think it's one of his best roles.
