El secreto de sus ojos

[Arcadia]

I must be a bit unscouncious-reluctant when it´s time to see argentine films: most of the time it happens that I don´t decide to go the see them for one reason or another and when I finally decide to go they are gone! . Well, this one had two different peculiarities: all the people I know that went to see it, liked it a lot and it stayed and unusual ammount of time in the cinemas. I like it, (but not a lot) maybe because it reminded me too much to the post-dictadura´s years films atmosphere, a kind of keep saying the same all the time in a sort of same way... maybe it´s still necessary...I don´t know!. Loved the title!

The play of differences

Nothing to do with this thread but I been thinking about the similarity of Argentina and USA. This link to your discussion about "nation states" on culture board.
We got our national symbol, the cowboy from argentina, but our cowboy turned into a cigarette comercial, how are your gaucos doing?
