Rating: Summary: An very good movie, a bad DVD Review: This movie addressed a painful issue to many Argentinans, the dissapearances during the military regime. Aleandro's excellent acting, the films story, how it evolves, the tragedy behind the emotions, the tragedy of chosing between existing bliss and justice, and a touchy subject, is very much worthwhile viewing, and maintains actuality to this day, with the outstanding reconciliations of societies like Argentina and Chile with the dissapearences and genocide of people opposed to the dictatorships, or who simply had different points of view. It is a pity that the DVD images are not well reproduced, some work could have been done to improve them through existing technology, and I was shocked to see a DVD that reproduces the subtitle in the movie, and does not allow you to take the subtitles off. Studios have to think more globally and be less US centric, and give us, who speak several languages, the option to take off or put on the subtitles.
Rating: Summary: Amazing-the impact of this movie can't be expressed in words Review: This movie really touches your heart. I am not a mother, but Iknow that the stories depicted in this film are very special to themothers of Los Desaparecidos. I highly recommend it/
Rating: Summary: Shocking History Review: Very few films have reached this level of excellence. This multiple award winner (Oscar, Cannes, etc.), is magnificently directed by Luis Puenzo and superbly acted by everyone in the cast (Norma Leandro is extraordinary). The beauty of the cinematography, with its sharp contrasts of red and blue, the editing, the script...it's all a marvel.One of the things this film is about is how the truth can unravel a seemingly "perfect" situation when it's based on wrong motives and actions. This film will capture you...you won't just watch it, you'll live it. Don't miss this incredibly powerful cinematic experience.
