Summary: Aristarain & Luppi: what a pair!!
Review: Filmmaker Adolfo Aristarain and actor Federico Luppi have collaborated quite a few times over the years. Always wonderful movies, always superb acting. Lugares Comunes is precisely that: a wonderful movie with superb acting. The usual Aristarain/Luppi fare. It is a quiet movie, a movie for those who like ideas, a movie to be watched and watched over and over again. A true masterpiece. Let us hope the other collaborations between those two giants are soon available on dvd here on Amazon

Summary: at long last, a film that speks to one's intelligence.
Review: This film is quite extraordinary in that, in addition to fine acting, and high quality technical production, it actually addresses one as a thinking human being. Without sentimentality--this alone being an amazing achievement--it depicts altogether believeable people in difficult situations with power and conviction.

Summary: A poignant film!
Review: This simple story is another proof about the enormous talent of this argentine film maker . The decay and the last day about a teacher who decides to retire to a farm , the plans and the illusion with his wife are the central focus of the supreme film .
Don't miss this one.
